this is petty of Ford :hhh:

God forbid he made a profit on the car while Ford does it all day every day :stopitslime:


New truck example:

Ford production cost: $5,000.00

Dealership cost to buy from Ford: $30,000.00

Consumer sticker price at dealership: $39,999.99

I'm pretty sure they sold him this limited custom car in the first place so he could promote Ford though. So, him selling it early not only breaches the contract, but negates their reason for even selling him the car in the first place.

If Ford wanted Cena to promote the car then why did they sell it to him? why didnt they just give him the car? The moment Cena spent his own hard-earned money on the car he should be able to do with it as he pleases.

Ford's $500k Lawsuit Against John Cena Hints At Money Problems For The WWE Star

Are WWE superstar John Cena’s free-spending ways catching up with him? That’s one possible interpretation of a lawsuit filed by Ford Motor against the 16-time world champion for the sale of a rare 2017 Ford GT.



According to the lawsuit, Cena was contractually obligated by Ford to hold onto the vehicle for at least two years. Ford, which is only producing 250 of the supercars a year and carefully selected buyers out of a pool of celebrities and Ford enthusiasts, alleges that Cena “unfairly made a large profit from the unauthorized resale flip of the vehicle, and Ford has suffered additional damages and losses, including, but not limited to, loss of brand value, ambassador activity and customer goodwill due to the improper sale.”

Though this can easily be written off as a simple misunderstanding, one that carries a relatively small penalty for a multi-millionaire like Cena, what’s particularly concerning about this lawsuit is that Ford says Cena told the company that he sold the vehicle, and other property, to “pay bills.”





A WWE superstar with an annual WWE salary of $8 million in 2016—despite keeping a part-time schedule—Cena is beginning to carve out a role in Hollywood as a movie star. Cena is set to star in the upcoming animated film Ferdinand and has a supporting role in Daddy’s Home 2, which has grossed over $74 million to date against a $29.7 million budget.


He’s also inked endorsement deals with Hefty and Wonderful Pistachios while establishing a presence on the small screeen as an occasional host on the Today Show, and hosting the ESPYs and Saturday Night Live. It might seem inconceivable for the budding multi-platform star to be strapped for cash.





But if the ESPN 30 for 30 special Broke taught us anything, it’s that no athlete is impervious to a crippling financial downfall, especially those who live lavish lifestyles. And when it comes to lifestyle, the only thing missing from John Cena’s standard of living is narration from Robin Leach.

Cena’s car collection is notoriously vast. In October the website MensXP.com covered his garage, and while 23 cars were featured, this was only a portion of his full fleet of automobiles.

The host of the YouTube series Auto Geek, which featured the infamous 2017 Ford GT he’s being sued for, has an equally impressive collection of designer suits. 55 to be exact.

Cena’s excessive spending habits date back even before his superstardom. In fact, following his first match, he bought 86 pairs of boots and 128 pairs of tights after misinterpreting advice from WWE legend William Regal.

John Cena juggles a very busy schedule in Hollywood with his[+]
Cena and fiancèe Nikki Bella flaunted their opulent mansion as part of the six-part series Our Home.

Ford’s lawsuit against Cena isn’t the first time “the face that runs the place” has found himself in a public controversy involving his finances. In 2012, Cena was hit with a $15,214,92 tax lien on his Florida home after failing to pay a roofing company. The lien was swiftly paid off by Cena, which was good news for the WWE star and even better news for hacky headlines.

Cena is on the fast track to joining The Rock as one of WWE’s most successful crossover stars. In all likelihood, this may just be a temporary cash flow issue. But Cena’s affinity for the excess, in addition to the legal drama regarding his finances, is a story to follow and one that hopefully doesn’t compromise an otherwise promising career.

Prestige. They’re marketing their supercars to other rich people by regulating their exclusivity. Same way Ferrari lets you purchase from their lower cost models(ex. sub-500,000), but you need to work your way up to be considered for the more exclusive ones. I’ve heard owning a lambo is enough to not be on their list. Then they’ll regulate if you can and who you can sell to and so on.

Kind of hard to believe that johnny boy is having financial issues. He is getting sponsorship after sponsorship, getting into more movie roles while still collecting wwe cheques

Perhaps this is a case of him spending a little more than he knows he should be and trying to sell things to try and humble himself down or some shyt. I'm not wealthy so i don't know how any of this works lol
