Toyota dealers caught in scandal over selling new cars as used with higher prices

According to a frustrated customer's account given to Drive, there were two cars that appeared to be for sale by the same Toyota dealer. Interestingly, both cars were photographed inside a Toyota showroom, rather than being displayed in a typical used-car lot. Furthermore, the number plates of the two vehicles were only a few digits apart, indicating a potential connection between them. Additionally, it was noted that both cars had only recently been registered.
