A Green Brook resident who owns a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo has filed suit against Circuit City and an employee for causing $50,000 in damage to the car, which had been brought to the store for a stereo installation. :confused:
In the suit filed in the Civil Division of state Superior Court, Luke Liang said he brought the vehicle valued at $185,000 to Circuit City on Route 28 in Bridgewater on Oct. 18, 2008 for an audio installation. :eek:
After he handed over the car for the work, Brian Murphy, a store employee, :shifty: drove the car without permission in the parking lot and struck a curb, the suit states.
The "joyride,'' as the suit characterizes the action, resulted in $50,000 in damage, including the "destruction'' of a wheel and tire, scratches and a broken suspension system.
The suit notes that Circuit City's rules prohibit employees for taking vehicles for test rides after audio installations. :rolleyes:
Liang claims in the suit that the incident lowered the car's value by $50,000.
The Circuit City store closed earlier this month after its parent company filed for bankruptcy.
