I bought a Genesis from them several years ago, but my recent experience has turned me away. I received a flyer with a scratch-off which identified me as a winner of a T.V. I called to verify the win & was told that I could come in & get my T.V. When I arrived I was told that I qualified as a possible winner but did not win. That was a pure bait & switch tactic that has cost them my business & most likely business from a lot of people. I dealer thatpulls a stunt like that is really desperate for sales.

This isn't new. Every dealer has used similar sales tactics. I thought most folks were savvy enough to realize these are scams to pull you into the store. I guess there's a sucker born every minute. Can't blame the store for trying to get feet in the showrooms.

Sure you can when they use sleazy tactics and bait and switch. Many dealers use those tactics, but certainly not ALL. I would not consider going to a dealer that did. If they scam you to get in the door, can you trust them to sell you a product for tens of thousands of dollars? I would not.

Actually you CAN blame them. I believe that bait and switch is illegal. Was there any fine print on the flyer? Did they absolutely and unequivocally say you won?
