I have been in the used car market for around two weeks using Internet based search engines.?
I am in the market for a certain type of vehicle (Toyota/Honda) that are very popular. The problem that I have been having is that once I have located a vehicle that interests me I contact the seller and invariable the vehicle has been sold but they seem to have other similar vehicles in inventory that might interest me. This has happened at least 10 times during this short period. On occaision, I have done the idential search days later using the same search engine and the same vehicle that was sold days earlier magicially reapears. This method of not updating one’s inventory seems to be a form of baiting and switching. What’s your opinion? I want to start tracking certain instances to attempt identify patterns.
