Fraudulent listing

Asked by WCC4CarGuru Oct 13, 2018 at 12:01 PM about the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4WD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Hi,

I ran across this list for this FJ Cruiser at $10,775. When I read the ad, in the
fine print, it says, “PRICE above of $10,​775 does NOT include your $3,​000
cash down or TRADE-IN ------ TOTAL PRICE IS $13,​775----“

What kind of crap is that? This dishonest dealer is advertising at a low price
to get to the t op of the ‘good deals’ list. This is dishonest and this dealer
should be removed. Otherwise, how can I trust Cargurus?
