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

Yep, they do. But I think its a car they keep listed online as long as they can get away with it.

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

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