JOSH Duggar has been accused of selling “broken” cars and “lying” to customers at his brother Jed’s dealership before his child pornography arrest, customers exclusively claimed to The Sun.

Josh's used car dealership, Wholesale Motorcars, closed down shortly after Homeland Security raided the Springdale, Arkansas lot in 2019 over an “ongoing federal investigation.” 

The raid was in relation to the two child pornography charges that were later filed in 2021. 

When Wholesale Motorcars closed down, Josh allegedly began working at Champion Motorcars, where his younger brother Jedidiah works as a manager. 

'LIES FOR A QUICK BUCK'

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, customer Steve Strygulec claimed he bought a defected motorhome from Josh and Jed in April 2020.

Steve claimed: “Josh was the primary salesman showing us features, how to use it and deciding the price. Jed initially introduced himself as the owner, but every vehicle we asked about he had to go to Josh to ask information and what best price was they could do.”

Steve continued to claim that the RV was allegedly “misrepresented.”

He claimed: “We were told it was good and needed a few small fixes. Well, as soon as we got home, it rained. We found the roof was poorly repaired with plastic and was leaking. 

“Water lines were bad, the hot water heater was broken. I asked them to test the water system, but they said they didn't have a water hose to hookup. They said there was a recent oil change, but when I changed the oil it was black and sludgy. The filter was also old.

reported from sources that Josh currently works at Champion Motorcars, as he has reportedly been seen walking around the lot.

According to Josh’s conditions of release obtained by The Sun, Josh is allowed to work, as he is restricted to home confinement except for employment, religious services, medical and more.

The indictment read Josh “knowingly received child pornography” between or about May 14, 2019 and on or about May 16, 2019.

For the second count, Josh “knowingly possessed material that contained images of child pornography,” including “images of minors under the age of 12.”

An HP desktop computer from the car lot, a MacBook laptop in an RV Josh arrived in and Josh’s cell phone were confiscated by authorities at the time of the raid at his now-closed lot. 

Josh has pleaded not guilty to the two child pornography charges against him. 

The Sun previously reported Josh had until October 18 to accept a plea agreement and change his non-guilty plea.
