The practice may or may not be legal bait and switch, depending on the follow up actions of the dealer.
"The intention of the bait-and-switch is to
encourage purchases of substituted goods, making consumers
satisfied with the available stock offered, as an alternative to a disappointment or inconvenience of acquiring no goods (or bait) at all, and reckoning on a seemingly partial recovery of sunk costs expended trying to obtain the bait. It suggests that
the seller will not show the original product or service advertised but instead will demonstrate a more expensive product or a similar product with a higher margin."
