Laguna Niguel Bait and switch

[bobgarrett77]

I leased a car From Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel and had the car for
7 months and the call me and said that they have a buyer for my C350 Mercedes and that They would take my car back and resale the car and replace the car with a New C350 and Said They had already checked on credit and all and the value of my c350 the said the They would lower the payment and lease time. Well it was all a Bait and Switch. They could not do any of it. They tried to increase my payment. And wanted 3,500 down.

Bait and switch is a form of fraud in which the party putting forth the fraud lures in customers by advertising a product or service at an unprofitably low price, then reveals to potential customers that the advertised good is not available but that a substitute is.

Well, if it sounds too good to be true, it normally is. My answer would have been, put the offer in writing and then we'll discuss it.
Not heard of such blatant tactics here in the UK but I have been offered things that sound too good to be true and on digging, there has always been a catch.
