I won't say the dealer "honored" the price. Like in this case he finally caved.

If I remember correctly, the dealer took a HUGE hit on that one. Somewhere between 10 and 20K I think.

I think a lot of times, dealers put younger guys who are "web savvy" in charge of their internet sales who aren't auction and sales savvy.
Unfortunately, though, it could very well be bait-and-switch tactics. Car dealers are not above using those. Twice I've had salesman advertise a price that, after a little talking, was a "mistake", when the true price of the vehicle is a couple thousand more. We could blame human error or underhanded practices, but the end result was that someone came to look at the vehicle.
