Complaint Review: Ridenow Powersports of Chandler

A Craigslist ad was placed for 2 Honda VFR 1200 motorcycles for the sales price of $11,499.  The mentioned MSRP was $17,499. 

The VFR 1200 F comes in 2 models a manual version and one with a Dual clutch transmission, the DCT model is about $2000 more than the manual model and has an MSRP of $17,499.

I called the person who was listed in the ad, Josh.  I asked him to confirm the bike was the DCT model and he said one was and the other was the standard model.  I then asked him to confirm the sales price and he did.  I made an appointment to come down and see it.

He texted me in the car to tell me the price was wrong.  He said the listed price was for the manual model and the DCT would be $12,999.  I went around and around with him on the phone, called back and spoke to the Manager of Sales and they will not honor the ad. 

Beware of Ridenow Chandler and other dealers who list on Craigslist and do not identify themselves as dealers or mention the shop you are calling.  They just list the salesman's name and their personal phone numbers.  I have complained to the Arizona Attorney General's office and am awaiting a reply.  I am now going to look into complaining to the FTC as a bait and switch.
