Each state's Attorney General will react differently. In Illinois, they are only concerned if you lost a significant amount of money. Believe me, I speak from experience. Use the media instead. Tv, newspapers etc. Do not use a newspapaer the dealer advertises in. They will not cover the story and risk losing that ad revenue. Again, from experience. Make sure you have documentation. The more proof you have the better for your case.

I would love to see them try and prove it.

Yes it was a scam, a scam that has certainly been successful for them in the past. You did the right thing and I don't know how many ways I can say that. Great Job, if more people did what you did, and simply leave then many more people would not get scammed. Let your behavior be a role model of others that read this post.

IF I were you I would file a complaint with the state attorney general's consumer protection division. If the AG investigates the dealership MUST prove that the exact vehicle in the ad was in their inventory, available for sale at the time the ad was published and when it was sold if as in your case it was "just sold" prior to your arrival at the dealership to purchase it. But you did the right thing by walking out.

Thats exactly what you do. " burned"?? Wasted gas and time but you didn't bite on the scam. Thats what really counts. You'll probably see the same ad again next week from these cockroaches.
