In my endless search for procuring a new car I found this delightful dealership advertising standard Mustangs using pictures of their Roush counterparts.

Here is the example that drew me in: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

This example shows a white stage 3 2014 Roush stang for an MSRP of around $36k (no hidden fees!), which normally should be closer to $54k or so. There are several other mustangs on that site that appear to be the same story.

Upon further investigation there is some smaller print at the bottom suggesting that what they are actually selling may differ from expectation. I believe the picture they are showing of their vehicles is in fact for a 2013 model and the advertised car is a 2014 due to the '14 having a standard 7" screen and the picture shows the previous entertainment system.

But remember that the dealer is there to protect your interest as a customer. That is why they are using their considerable amount of power with state law makers to ban Tesla direct sales a eliminate consumer protection laws. Now buy the car they are misrepresenting and don't say anything mean on Yelp.

While no effort at all was made to ensure the accuracy of this page we can assure you that marginal effort was paid to covering our asses when you come in looking for a $36,000 Roush only to be disappointed by the reality of the situation.

My mom and I went to a Ford dealer to see a white FoST and a red FoST on their lot (which someone confirmed over phone!) While being an hour away they were still the closest. We drove all the way there with every single one of my siblings just to find out the cars weren't even done being built. They then proceeded to try and sell us Raptors, Mustangs, and normal Focuses.

My mom nearly gave up on looking at ST's. Good thing my dad test drove one while out on a business trip.

Who wants to spam their email/facebook to let them know that they've made a serious typo, and that I'm sure Roush would not like them slandering their branding on a car that isn't a Roush in reality.
