McCann Motors Responds to News Reports Regarding Washington State Attorney General Press Release

Dealership wishes to clarify that customers were aware of their vehicle's history.

FIFE, WA - August 9, 2008: McCann Motors, a premier Cadillac, Hummer and Saab automotive dealer based in Fife, Wash., issues the following statement in response to news reports generated by a press release distributed Friday, Aug. 8, by the Office of the Washington State Attorney General.

McCann Motors has cooperated completely with the Washington State Attorney General regarding an issue involving the dealership's sale of 79 General Motors buy back vehicles during the previous year. We are concerned that statements made in the news release may be misinterpreted to suggest that our customers were unaware of their vehicle's history prior to purchase.

"There is nothing more important to our dealership than the trust we have built with our customers," says McCann Motors President Melaine McCann. "We want to clarify that every customer who purchased one of these vehicles was fully informed of their vehicle's history, and acknowledged their awareness in writing prior to purchase -- a fact confirmed in the news release issued earlier today by the Attorney General."

McCann Motors will continue to cooperate with the Washington State Attorney General to notify the vehicle buyers about what happened and work out a suitable resolution.

"The Attorney General's staff has been very helpful to us and we appreciate their guidance on this issue," adds McCann.

McCann Motors is a family owned business that has operated locally for more than 50 years.
