| - This company is engaging in deceptive and fraudulent advertising. I went to the dealership to inquire about a preowned Infinity Q37 that was advertised on AutoTrader. Theirg add clearly states in the caption that it can be leased for $299 per month with $2495 down. This is despite the fact that it is not legal in Ohio to lease a preowned vehicle.
The dealer's sales manager Terry and their sales guy Kevin Johnson claimed that it was an error and they had no idea how the add got placed. I next inquired about 3 2013 Q37 convertibles that they have advertised on AutoTrader for $44,495, approximately $10,000 off of the MSRP. When I told them I was interested in leasing a vehicle, they quoted a very high monthly payment with a cap cost more than $5,000 higher than the advertised price. The sales manager claimed that the advertised price was only good on cash sales. After going around with them a while, I left when they said that they couldn't come close to my top line of $350 per month with $3,000 down.
The best offer they made was $366 per month with $3,800 down. When I asked them to give it to me in writing, they refused.This morning, I got a follow-up email from AutoTrader saying that the exact same car that I offered to pay up to $350 per month and $3,000 down for was available for $299 per month with $2495 down! This dealership is doing a classic bait-and-switch and fraudulently advertises prices that they have no intention of honoring. I can provide copies of the correspondence and the ads.
