    Haikou Zhongsheng Lexus demanded RMB 100,000 markup before delivery, fined RMB 450,000 for price fraud

    The Haikou Zhongsheng Lexus 4S store under Zhongsheng Group demanded a RMB 100,000 markup before the consumer took delivery and refused to honor the price commitment; the Haikou market regulation authorities determined this constituted price fraud, proposed a penalty in March 2024 and formally decided in April to fine it RMB 450,000 and include it on the list of seriously illegal and dishonest entities. Separately, the Hangzhou Zhongsheng Star Mercedes-Benz 4S store was found by a court to have concealed replacement of wheels and tires, constituting sales fraud, and was ordered to return the vehicle and refund the payment plus triple compensation, totaling nearly RMB 2.7 million. Impact and handling: both cases became typical examples of auto dealer fraud. Status: administrative penalty. Entities involved: Haikou Zhongsheng Lexus Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou Zhongsheng Star Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. Scope: Zhongsheng Group's Haikou Lexus and Hangzhou Mercedes-Benz 4S stores.
