Jury awards $105K in car consignment lawsuit

By Lucretia Cardenas
Updated: 10.08.09
A Montgomery County jury in County Court-at-Law 2 awarded $105,000 in damages Thursday to a Washington state woman who sued a local car auction business for misleading her about the condition of a car she bought in 2006.

During closing arguments Thursday, attorney Christopher Beck told jurors that Classic Car Consignment and Auction in Conroe, owned by Lyn Hawthorne, misled his client, Judy Fenton. When Fenton came to Texas to visit her cousin in March 2006, she went to the Conroe car dealership, fell in love with a Packard on sale and inquired about it, he said.

The salesman, Stephen Craig Wood, told her the car “runs like a champ,” Beck said.

Fenton returned home to Washington. Determined to buy the vehicle, she called a number Wood gave her and said she could offer $5,000 for the vehicle, which was accepted, Beck said. She was given an account number so she could wire the money, which she did.

But when Fenton went to pick up the car, she couldn’t drive it off the lot, Beck told jurors. She asked for her money back because the car didn’t live up to what Wood and the advertisement said about its condition.

Classic Car Consignment and Auction later resold the vehicle for $7,500 after fixing it up.

In 2008, in response to the ongoing lawsuit filed by Fenton in July 2006, the car dealership stated that it never received her $5,000 payment and therefore was not responsible. Beck argued that the dealership was responsible because Wood was representing them.

If Classic Car Consignment and Auction did not receive the money from Wood, Beck said, “That’s an issue between the dealership and Wood.”

“If Craig Wood did something wrong, he did something wrong to CCA, not to Judy Fenton,” Beck said. “… It’s not her fault she got ripped off.”

Beck asked jurors to grant Fenton her $5,000 plus any additional damages they believed she deserved.

Attorney Gary Beauchamp, representing Classic Car, argued that Fenton did not act as a responsible buyer. She shouldn’t have purchased a 50-year-old car without test driving it or having a mechanic inspect it, he said.

And when she received a copy of the wire transfer transaction, Beauchamp said, red flags should have been raised when she saw that the money went into Wood’s account instead of the dealership’s.

“They have nothing to prove that the car didn’t run and … when you get the transfer back and it says Craig Wood, I’d be on the phone,” Beauchamp said.

Wood was an independent contractor, not an employee, Beauchamp said, therefore, Classic Car Consignment and Auction should not be responsible for any of his wrongdoings.

Wood and his son Geoffrey Taylor Wood are facing multiple felony theft charges in the 359th state District Court. Their cases stem from complaints against their business, Classic Cars in Conroe, which they opened after leaving Hawthorne’s dealership. Multiple law enforcement agencies shut down the business in August 2008.

Stephen Craig Wood and Geoffrey Taylor Wood have a trial setting date in December.

yeah that's them. I got my money, but the bounced checks and late fees are still hauting me from those guys.

The poor guy they sold that car to needs to know about this so he can get his piece of their azz also for what they did to him.

Wade, good wedding. Have fun on the honeymoon.

Drunk people while funny, are not nearly as funny as they think they are. Ordering a chocolate shake and a bowl of "go fu(k yourself" at Jack in the box is hillarious. 8 people can fit in a Tahoe designed or 6.

Good times last night. Colter, you can not beat people up just because you want to steal their cowboy hat

Yes I can if I want to. Give a drunk a rope and he will want to be a cowboy.

what do you guys think of this hose?

http://teaguecustommarine.com//store...th=202_299_677

I was told that builders are using this vs. stainless....they said it looked better, easier to work with ect..ect.. They said no clamps needed. That concerned me a bit.

good to hear you locked yourself in your office to post on OSO while you had naked women in the back yard....

I posted after they passed out on the living room floor.

I was joking about the locking in the office part.

You can use push lock fittings with that hose. It is a litle easier. I don't think it is much cheaper though.

You can use the regular aluminum fitings if you want also.

where can i buy all this chit in bulk?? hose, fittings, clamps, ect..ect.. Just googled the hose, the prices are all over the board.

talk to boatman. I have never bought any of it because I ave to much stainless chit laying around to change everything over.

Is it time to lock this thread up and throw away the key???? WTF??

wstultz is away on his honeymoon. Everyone else has regular jobs now. WTF???
