Almost got caught in a Bait & Switch at a Wisconsin Dealership

It sounds like you did not ask them to specifically confirm the price before your visit. Is that the case that you did not ask and went with the assumption that what they had advertised was still accurate?

Read my OP. I did indeed ask that.

oh okay I see that. So 20 minutes into your drive they called you back and raised the price or informed you they raised the price. I can see how that is frustrating. At least they called you back instead of waiting until you arrived. That would have sent me through the roof. But I agree with you putting them on blast so others know...buyer beware..

Oh, I was pissed, but the call saved me a 70+ mile ride.

Yeah, if I drove 70 miles then had them tell me that, I probably would have ended up being arrested for my actions.. Even the 20 minutes, getting excited to make the drive then get that call, not happy for sure.

If this continues (I'm crossing my fingers it will not since it will be my 6th vehicle purchase from my dealer) I'm not going to pay $75K for a 4runner. I'll go and shop a GX550 Overland instead.
