John Cena was sued by Ford for selling a 2017 Ford GT that is worth around $500,000. In the lawsuit, Ford claimed that Cena violated a contract by selling the car. Ford claims that Cena was “selected from thousands of applicants for the opportunity to purchase the Ford GT.”
As part of the terms for buying the car, Cena was supposed to hold onto it for 2 years. The lawsuit claimed that Cena flipped the car for a profit shortly after he received it.

Autoblog reports that Cena and Ford have settled out of court. Ford will reportedly receive an undisclosed settlement amount from Cena and they will donate that money to charity.
Cena issued a statement on the situation. Here is what he said:
“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.”
