It has come to light that German automaker Volkswagen has sued one of its Lamborghini dealerships, Lamborghini of Orange County. Last November the former “worlds largest Lamborghini dealer” closed its doors for good. The closing came rather abrubptly according to some reports, and the reason has remained a mystery until court documents were released showing that VW was indeed suing the dealership.

In the suit Volkswagen accuses the dealership of stealing $12 million dollars from the company. The dealership’s owners, the Keuylian family, apparently sold 54 cars at ridiculously low prices over a period of 8 days before closing their dealership. The family then ran off with the money without paying off its creditors, VW Credit.

Other parties have now stepped forward with their own lawsuits, also alleging that the Keuylian’s owe them money. If Volkswagen can’t find them, they are stuck with a bill in the tune of around $12 million. Then again this is one of the world’s largest auto manufactures. I doubt they will get very far before they are caught and prosecuted. Hopefully they’ve kept a couple of Lamborghini getaway cars with them!
