Popular Ford advertised a used car on cars.com that I inquired about over the phone. A salesman assured me that the car was on the lot and that the price was accurate and that there where no strings. When I got there, I was whisked into a sales conference with a salesman to talk "discuss" the car and the price. I told them I expected no discussion and showed them the cars.com ad that I had printed with the price. They then told me that even though there was no mention of this anywhere, this was only a price for customers interested in financing the car with them (at some undisclosed rate). Then they tried to tell me that another buyer had purchased the car for $2000 more than the advertised price and put a deposit on it. I was then shown the deposit (obviously phony) and told that I could "match it" if I was interested.
In short, this is the most dishonest group of criminals I have ever run into in 20 years of shopping for cars—straight out of "Glengarry Glen Ross"
