Those Autotrader ads are auto generated each time a car comes into their system as inventory. The dealer doesn't post the ads on trader. All FL5 have been sold and I am sure each dealer has a waiting list of at least 5 people to call prior to having it listed for sale
while likely true, there has been a couple cases where the original buyer that the car is sold to has to back out (ie. won’t qualify for financing) and the car is available. Doesn’t hurt to inquire. I find this case is more likely in smaller areas as a lot of these smaller dealers don’t bother keeping a waiting list vs the big city ones

You are correct overall. Some cars have been available. Like this one in Terrace and PG both had no deposits.

Curious when you guys call, do you speak with just the regular sales associate or the GSM?

I've called a few dealerships and have the opportunity to speak with both. The last one I inquired about told me they were taking deposits lol.

I had my FL5 through cargurus with the help of our members here, anything is possible! Yeah it hurts and disappoints, but you only need 1 ā€œYES ITS AVAILABLEā€ to turn everything around. šŸ¤™šŸæ

Just listed on CarGurus phoned yesterday and it’s not available. Not sure why they even bother putting these cars online when they aren’t actually available šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

Yeah, that's been sitting there for a while, at least a month.
When I spoke to them they said they just got it in but it’s sold.

I think you are correct coz this dealership has only listed these 70k or higher. It’s just weird take your cars off cargurus if they are sold.
