The FTC alleged that Greenway Auto Group advertised vehicle prices thousands of dollars below the amounts consumers actually paid and used mailers falsely suggesting recipients had won cash prizes. Greenway agreed to an order requiring transparent pricing and prohibiting deceptive prize mailers and other misrepresentations; the press release does not state a monetary penalty.
The proposed stipulated order requires vehicle advertisements to prominently disclose the actual price consumers must pay, subject only to government-required charges, and prohibits deceptive prize mailers and specified misrepresentations about fees, optional or required products or services, and financing.
Review agreements with advertising agencies, lead-generation providers, direct-mail vendors, and other marketing partners for clear responsibility to substantiate advertised prices and prize claims, disclose mandatory fees and eligibility conditions, and obtain approval before publishing pricing or financing representations. Review customer-facing sales terms and promotional materials to ensure they distinguish government-required charges from other fees, accurately describe optional products and services, and state rebate or financing conditions. This action concerns advertising and consumer protection, not privacy practices, so it does not itself indicate a need to revise data-processing, privacy-policy, employee, or breach-notification clauses.
