John Cena, famous wrestler and actor, has been sued by Ford after selling his rare 2017 Ford GT just a few months after acquiring it.

This model, which cost over $450,000 at the time, was intended for a select group of buyers chosen through a rigorous application process. One of the conditions for these privileged buyers was that they could not resell the vehicle for at least two years, a rule that Cena broke by selling the car shortly after the purchase.
The sale caused a loss for Ford, which claimed that Cena unjustly profited from the unauthorized transaction and that the resale harmed the brand’s value and the automaker’s image with its customers. As a result, Ford filed a $500,000 lawsuit against Cena, demanding compensation for the damages caused by the breach of agreement.
However, the case was resolved out of court the following year, with a financial settlement whose exact amount was not disclosed. Cena also issued a public apology, affirming his respect for the Ford GT and encouraging other owners to follow the contractual rules. Part of the agreed amount was directed to a charity, thus amicably ending the dispute.
