Is a Dealer entitles to increase a selling price once you make him an offer?
I received an email from a Dealer and CarGurus almost 2 days ago and I am
somehow being blocked from posting a review.
The Dealer is Cars R Toys and they have a BMW X3, Stock #1356 on for 53
days at the time at $4,950. When I called and spoke with Mr. Pierre Labelle I
told him I was very interested and would be comiong in tomorrow (the 54th
day). I asked if the car in question was negotiable at all? He said he will send
me a quote. He then wrote me back with a price increase and all sorts of other
charges bring the sale to $7,214.88
I then looked at CarGurus and found the vehicle and had an increase to $5450
(all documented).
This is some sort of game this Dealer is playing to get you interested and then
throws you off your game by adding ridiculous costs to the vehicle, not to
mention raising the price now that he has an interested buyer with cash in
hand.
This is poor business ethics and I do not feel that CarGurus would accept
these type of sales had they known or now are made aware.

Q#listing=185425603 should have been sold at the price quoted on CarGurus
plus taxes. I am former Law Enforsement from NYC and have seen the 'Bait &
Switch' game for years but this is completely unacceptable.
What is CarGurus willing to do to keep their good reputation?
Do you accept this type of activity on your site?
