Blatant Bait-and-Switch — Dishonest Pricing, Mandatory Junk Fees
I came in as a cash buyer to purchase a 2023 Porsche Macan they had listed for $44,974. The ad made no mention of required dealer add-ons or hidden fees. Once I asked for a final price, they slapped on over $4,200 in non-negotiable garbage, including:
• $1,499 for a “Nano Armor” ceramic coating
• $864 for a GPS tracker
• $1,895 for “prep and delivery” — on a used car
When I pushed back, they told me this was “just how they do it.” They would not remove the charges, even though I never requested or agreed to any of them. This was not a miscommunication — this was intentional deception.
This dealership uses classic bait-and-switch tactics. They advertise one price, then refuse to honor it unless you agree to inflated, high-margin junk you don’t need. This is a predatory and dishonest sales model, and based on dozens of other reviews, they’ve been doing it for over a year with the same staff.
The worst part? They treat it like it’s normal. No apology. No effort to correct anything. Just pure greed.
I walked away and filed formal complaints with the BBB, FTC, and Attorney General. If you’re reading this and thinking about buying a car from here — don’t. They don’t deserve your money, and they sure don’t deserve your trust.
