So, they advertise a $4,000 car for $5,000 all to sell $10,000+ vehicles?
Bait and switch? |
Last month I went in to ask about a TJ jeep a local Toyota dealer had listed on the webpage and it was a similar thing. They had actually already sold it which could be expected but it technically never was even on their lot, it was a salesman's private vehicle they moved directly through a wholesale auction only dealers could bid on, so honestly it was never available for sale. Then on top of that it stayed on the webpage as available for a month after that. I don't think it rises to legal bait and switch, but it's annoying and I haven't even bothered looking at that dealer's "inventory" again.
