there are tons of scams in advertising / marketing. ESPECIALLY with home rentals/ cars, etc. Remember the dealership that stole cars from his own lot to get the insurance benefit?? He's doing prison time for that one. When a supermarket has a sale going on with an item ( ads change every week) a separate items price will be raised ( or several items raised) to make up for the loss of the ad. Grocery stores are designed to make money and sell items .. or close. So, really they are making more money in one fashion or another. Secondly.. if a store is a private enterprise, they don't have to report losses or profits. Good luck on your car search
