The FTC settled with Greenway Auto Group last week. Buyers paid over $3,350 above the advertised price on average, in over 92% of deals. Admin, dealer, delivery and processing fees.

What worries me more: a lot of your advertised prices aren't on your website. They're Marketplace posts a rep put up three weeks ago and forgot about. In our data, 22.6% of dealer listings changed price after going live.

Quick litmus test if you post on Marketplace: pull 10 of your Marketplace listings. Listed price vs. what your desk would quote out the door today. What's your biggest gap?

The thread uses the FTC's $3,350-per-deal settlement with Greenway Auto Group as a jumping-off point to warn dealers about price inconsistencies between their websites and Marketplace listings. The original poster, who sells Marketplace posting software, argues that stale or unupdated listings create the same kind of advertised-vs.-actual-price gap that drew regulatory action, noting that 22.6% of dealer listings change price after going live. The practical takeaway is a simple audit: pull 10 live Marketplace listings and compare them to what the desk would actually quote today.
