John Cena Reaches Settlement With Ford

John Cena had been sued by Ford for selling a 2017 Ford GT worth $500,000. In the lawsuit, Ford claims Cena violated a contract by selling the vehicle. The lawsuit was filed in US District Court in Michigan.

The lawsuit claims that Cena was “selected from thousands of applicants for the opportunity to purchase the Ford GT.” As part of the terms and conditions for buying the car, Cena agreed to hold onto it for at least two years. The suit claims Cena flipped the car for a profit shortly after he got it and well before the required two years that he was obligated to keep it.

Autoblog reports Cena and Ford have settled out of court on this matter, which will see Ford receive an undisclosed settlement amount from Cena and they will donate that money to charity.

Cena issued a statement on the situation saying:

“I love the Ford GT and apologize to Ford, and encourage others who own the car to respect the contract. I am pleased we could resolve this matter outside of court, and that a worthy charity will benefit from one of the most iconic cars in the world.”
