That sounds like a customer I overheard at a dealership arguing with the General Manager that they had falsely advertised a vehicle as being fully loaded because he wanted blind spot monitors, but it wasn't offered. By his definition the vehicle could not be fully loaded because of this lack of installed equipment even though it wasn't even available. The GM literally laughed so hard at his rant that we heard him in the next show room. He told him to by the vehicle or get out.

Before you answer I will tell you what your response is going to be: You would have sued the dealership for False Advertising and then filed suit against the GM for mental anguish. You would have then proceeded to talk smack about him and the 'stealership' to all of your friends, anyone that would listen to your banter, making it so they never sold another vehicle again. Eventually they would put a going out of business sign on their marquis and you could proudly hold your head up high because it was all thanks to you!
Not really business is business and it is always buyer beware Sometimes we use phrases that really make no sense but we get the idea.

My response to an ad that says "all options" is to ignore the ad since whoever is running the ad doesn't know what they're talking about.

Be honest: Say it's a 2008 C6 3LT JSB/Titanium w/Silver split spoke wheels, A6, Z51 & Nav. That way there's no question of what options the car has.

If a dealer was honest they would be out of business

Did you ever hear a person who bought or leased a car ever say anything like boy was I screwed! No they all think that they got a great deal. That is the art of a sale. Within the first 5 minutes the salesperson knows what you are going to pay, the only thing is how it is presented.


A dealership is there to make money period if you think different then you are having mental masturbation.
