Bait and switch and false advertising

Cars & Transport

On5/22/08 my wife called longview volkswagen to check on internet special of $17,000 for new jetta and if they had one in stock. (we live at least 50 miles from the dealer and with the price of gas we did not want to make a 100 mile round trip for nothing and this was explained to them) they said they had them in stock so we said we would be right down. When we arrived the salesman had no knowlage of the special but he would show us the jettas and check with manager about the sale price. The sales manager had no knowlage of the special and the salesman had us show him where we found it. Once we showed him the add he showed us cars that would qualify for sale price we drove one and decided to buy. He then wanted me to sign credit papers without showing any figures I refused so he reluctently showed me the price of $19,500 i said no way i wanted the internet price he said they sold the last one of those 2 weeks earlyer and the only keep 1 of those $ 17,000 specials at a time. Thats funny 5 min earlyer they had no knowlage of the special. If i wanted they would get me one in a day or so i told them thats why we called to make sure they had one instock 100 miles for nothing! Even the poor salesman said this was close to false advertising then they tried to pass of a used jetta or mazda at this price. What a RIP-OFF.

Ran special on no line bifocals, phoned to confirm price, traveled 100 miles to be met with the typical bait and switch technique. Cost went from $165 to $355 because they said the price on medium sized lenses were much higher!
