I agree with you the whole high pressure sales in gone but the tactic of a low cost / loss leader limited supply product to bring people through the door only to sell them something else is prevalent throughout industry. And I think focus on this aspect takes away from getting a better understanding on the hidden and undisclosed fee side of it where fraudulent or at least unethical behaviour seems to be actually happening.
It sounds like the car dealerships never had their apples available at all...the APA shoppers would go in on the same day as the ad and still not be able to buy the advertised car.
