I found a 2014 Nissan Leaf SL listed online at East Charlotte Nissan in Charlotte, NC. A couple days later it was gone, only to resurface after a day. Feeling like that was weird, I typed the VIN into Google for kicks and found that the same VIN is listed for sale at multiple dealerships: 2 in NC, 2 in TN, 1 in FL, 1 in GA...
Is this a common "get them in the door and then oops the car isn't available, why don't you look at these other ones" bait-and-switch scam? Would there be any sense in contacting Nissan corporate to let them know their dealerships are engaged in this? Or is this...somehow...a legitimate practice?
