According to a woman on Reddit, a car dealership forced her to accept a white vehicle she never wanted or face having it towed away, in what she and her husband allege is a case of bait and switch. Comments, however, can’t decide whether she or the dealership is in the wrong.
The incident began when the woman purchased what she believed to be a gray 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan. She found out later that the dealership had registered her as the buyer of a white one instead. According to a Reddit post, the buyer and her husband visited the dealership after a cold call about trading in their old car. They chose a gray Tiguan she loved, but couldn’t finalize the sale that day because of income verification issues. She returned later with a co-signer, signed the documents electronically, and drove off in the gray car she had chosen.
