Zaakia Jackline Rajabian, et al. v. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, et al.

Phoenix, Arizona, personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff in a depute over who owned a Mercedes-Benz.



Phoenix Motor Company ("PMC”) is a car dealership

that does business as Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale. In

October 2021, PMC paid Wholesale Exotics, an automobile

wholesaler, $274,800 for a 2021 Mercedes-Benz G63.

Wholesale Exotics deposited PMC's check and sent the

funds to Fredrick Aljundi, who agreed to pick up the car and

deliver it to PMC on behalf of Wholesale Exotics. Aljundi,

along with two of his colleagues, used those funds to

purchase the vehicle from Mercedes-Benz Chandler.

Then things went awry. Instead of delivering the car to

PMC, Aljundi traded it in to another dealership, Mercedes

Benz of North Scottsdale. When PMC inquired into the

car's location, one of Aljundi's associates explained that

Aljundi planned to "refund [PMC's] money and profits”

rather than deliver the car.



In February 2022, Zakia J. Rajabian and Dulceria La

Bonita Wholesale (collectively, "Dulceria”) bought the car

from Mercedes-Benz of North Scottsdale, receiving title to

it later that month. After gaining possession of the car,

Dulceria locked it away in a storage locker, keeping the car's

door open to disengage the built-in Mercedes-Benz tracking

system. Nevertheless, PMC, with the help of Mercedes

Benz USA, allegedly used the "Mercedes Me Connect”

technology to locate the car in Dulceria's storage locker on

March 15, 2022.

Stay ordered.
