Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Onyx Automotive, an automobile dealership in Omaha, Nebraska, has required customers to purchase additional vehicle protection packages or pay other charges that were not included in advertised vehicle prices.
Consumers shopping for new or used vehicles may encounter dealership advertisements listing a particular selling price, only to discover additional charges when negotiating or completing the purchase. These charges may include vehicle protection packages, dealer-installed accessories, or other products that customers are told cannot be removed.
Independent automotive-pricing research published by CarEdge identified a May 2026 vehicle quote from Onyx Automotive involving a used BMW 540i. The quote reportedly included a $1,999 add-on described as “Plan A,” in addition to the vehicle’s selling price and a documentation fee. CarEdge characterized the package as mandatory in that quote.
The available record does not establish whether the customer ultimately purchased the package or whether Onyx Automotive imposed similar charges on other buyers.
Migliaccio & Rathod is investigating whether Onyx Automotive has used mandatory add-on packages that were not clearly disclosed in advertised prices or that consumers did not knowingly agree to purchase.
