I tried to buy/lease a car recently and not a single one of the advertised prices was actually available. For example the commercials that say “lease a new 2021 Subaru for $250/month”. You get to the dealership and any of these following reasons could be why the car actually costs way more: that price is for a base model, they only have supreme models available at the dealer that price is only available to people with a 800 credit score you need to put 5,000 down and only drive the car 10,000 miles per year that promotion ended *the promotion is still going but that dealership doesn’t participate

Etc, etc etc.

The list goes on and on, but one thing is for sure- you will never get a car at the advertised price.
