Hmhhh not sure what happend to the rest of the post anyway...
 
Was supposed to be...
 
So now the car is a nearly 1000 dollar loss and he is claming they are throwing in some free accessories. About 600 dollars worth of free accessories by my figuring.
 
Now it is a 1,500 dollar loss for a car that they will not get any service business from. Why do people lie to such an extant and think they can get away with it?

sometimes they do. That, and they are morally bankrupt scum (not that I am being judgemental or anything..)
 
Actually, I think some people look at it as part of the car buying "game", which enough dealers still seem to want to play. Maybe he just looks at it as a negotiating technique, same as a dealer telling a customer a car is super rare, even though he knows that there are plenty available.
 
Besides, he probably figures that if you don't bite, he can always just take your offer and not have lost anything (you don't ask, you don't get).
 
And the final possibbility? maybe he did get that offer, either legit (other dealer for some reason is willing to take the loss), a lowball (sounds like he deserves it), or like Brit figures, it's a price on a demo or one with less equipment.

Somehow I doubt that. If he really did get that offer someplace else why keep coming back to BK and try to get it? If dealer 'A' gives me a deal and dealer 'B' can't meet or beat it I will got to dealer 'A' and not keep hounding dealer 'B'.

I was just browsing the inventory of the dealer where he claimed to have bought the Range Rover and they have the car he was looknig for in stock. He said several times that they might have to go locate the Range Rover he wanted. Again doesn't make sense if they have it in stock so another lie.
 
I will have to check back later on and see if that Range drops off their inventory list. If it does I have the VIN so I can check and see who bought it.

How bad form is it call the dealership he claims to have talked to and ask about how legitimate the line he's feeding you is?
