Learned a new (to me) trick car dealers are using. Advertise 1 or several “good deals” online, and keep them listed.

Sounds likely. But I'd probably call to ask about a listing before visiting.

We had a dealership advertise a good deal on a car. When we got there they didn't have it and said it was actually

This is decades old. Consumer protection agencies sometimes crack down on it.

You need to search their website inventory and do all negotiating online

If they pull that trick just leave, that won't be the last way they try to take

Ouch. This sounded a lot like the reviews I read, namely once they get your money, service drops off to 0 communication.
