but when i called, they said they dont have none under $94,000 (almost $10,000 more than ad).
The website also states.
"Prestige Land Rover Paramus will put a lien on NEW and PreOwned vehicles for a 10 month period to prevent vehicles from being exported outside of the United States. The lien will be satisfied after ten months of ownership or if the vehicle is traded back to Prestige Land Rover Paramus prior to the ten month waiting period. Only the original selling dealer can satisfy the lien release for the vehicle."
I live in the US. I dont want to export it, but i do want to be able to get my title before 10months, i was paying cash.
is this normal? is this a scam?
Local dealership did this to me the other day. Car in inventory online (same model, slightly older) listed at $6k. This car is (and I quote) "Lost - nobody knows where it is."
Car actually on lot, listed at 11K. Although the manager told me it was listed at $12k after I said I hadn't checked the price of that one online, and he pretended to check it on his phone.
In some states the advertisement must state a stock number for that one low ball price.
And there is or was a stock number vehicle at that price.
But, of course it was sold. And it may have been.
A neighbor of mine, who did seek these low ball prices in newspaper advertisement would telephone the dealer first. And if still in stock, place a credit card deposit on it. Not guaranteed to work on all dealerships but it did work for him on the last 3 new pickup trucks he purchased.

WHOA! I am NOT putting a deposit on a vehicle I've never seen! Especially I'm not giving a dealership my credit card info!
But then I wouldn't buy a car off e-bay either. Still seems like an awful idea to give your credit card info to put a deposit on a car that you've not even seen.
What I have done in the past when this has happened, I ask to see the paperwork on the selling of the vehicle that they posted, if they cannot or will not produce it, its a scam and I'll report this, in this case to ebay !!
Bait and switch.... PITA!
Went thru this a few times myself.
Find a car, call to make an appointment on that particular car. Go to the dealership and they tell me it is no longer available.
Total waste of time...

Same here.
In fact, I used to work 2nd shift, going in at 330pm. I had called about a used car in stock the night before from work, a 350Z convertible. They said it was available, I said I would stop in the next morning.
At about 9am, they call me back, asking if I was still interested and planning on coming in to check it out and that it was sitting right here waiting for me.
I get up, drive across San Antonio... Get to the dealer.. I sit and wait.. and wait.. and wait.
Turns out, they "sold" it the night before.. But they had a Chrysler Crossfire if I was interested.
I told them what they could go to themselves, left, and found another one for sale on the way home, and bought it that day.
