Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Baiting And Switching...What Can I Do?
I wanted to purchase a vehicle I saw in an advertisement on the internet. I called the dealer about purchasing it and the dealer said he would not sell me the vehicle for the advertised price. Instead, he said that he would sell me the vehicle for approx. $15,000 more. Is this an example of baiting and switching or false advertising? I told him that I was going to contact the Better Business Bureau (which I did) but he was unphased and claimed that marketing must have made a mistake in the ad. The site that the advertisment is posted on claims that ''the accuracy of the information on this page is the sole reponsibility of the dealer.'' The ad had been posted prior to May 17th and was removed on may 20th. I saved the ad information in case of alteration. What can I do in this situation?

It may be false advertising, but $15,000 difference sounds like a mistake.
