Why do dealers still bother to bait n switch?
I know they all do it. Leave cars up weeks longer than they have them. Or my favorite — bmw of Alexandria advertising a sticker price CS, and then disclosing a $20K adm several conversations in (which is what sparked this vent)
Clearly they do it because it does something for them, but I never do business with a dealer that’s done this to me. Does anyone?

I just don’t pay ADM, period. Plenty of other dealers to shop with across the country that may honor MSRP. Otherwise I’ll buy another model or make with no ADM.

They’ve been taught to generate a lead and start a conversation above all else. It’s a numbers game and it’s more productive to piss off a few to cast a wide net.
