  • Got Bait and Switched on Car Buying Today.

    First time this has happened to me although I know it's common.

    Found a used Tahoe for the Wife with a good price, miles, and options we wanted. Call... And "oh yea it's here, let me grab the keys."

    Low and behold when i head that way, "We are sooo sorry but it sold right after we talked and I didn't know it yet."

    "But we have all these similar tahoes on the lot that are 10k more"

    Limited quantities = no bait & switch. If you bought one anyway, that's on you.

      Ha, no didn't buy one.

      I don't know that they had it to begin with. Had stock photos on the website and it was lower miles and cheaper than most anything else we've seen.

          Everyone of the salesmen tell me that line.... That's why I say, "Great! Text me a pic of the car for me please." Sniff that BS out real quick

            Had that happen to me a few months ago at grand prarie ford. It was the manager. I told him fuck him and just left.

            You want to lie to me in the face and then want me to give you money for a different truck? Gtfo!

              I sold cars a long time ago. A lot of the ads are to get you on the lot. If it's too good to be true it probably is

                  I love the ads with the picture of the fully loaded limited model for the great price, yet turns out it's the shitty stripped down model for that price. I myself would know, but I'm sure a lot of people probably fall for it. Talk about bait and switch.

                          I've had that happen to me a few years back. The response was, "Sorry, the manager's buddy had bought it and just rolled off... I couldn't say no to my manager, but let me show you what else we have."

                          Get fucked on you.
