Default Dealer intentionally posted wrong price ...?

I was searching online for a new car and I came across a nice newer car for super cheap which I assumed to be a mistake, but called anyway. When talking to them on the phone they informed me that they knew it was like that and told me the actual price of the car (WAY higher than listed!). A week later the price is still the same, the same car, same vin #, same dealer, on different websites!!! Can they do that? Or if I have the pages printed out and I walk into that dealership do they legally have to sell me the car for that price. They KNOW that they did this, and for whatever reason are intentionally leaving it like that. I want the car!!! Don't they have to give it to me for that price by law? Or isn't it false advertising? Please help! Thank you!
I know that's how they lure customers, but I am a retail manager and when something is wrongly priced we have to give it to the customer at the cheaper price... shouldn't it be the same? Isn't what they are doing ILLEGAL?

You can print out the entire website, go in the dealer, stomp your feet, with a lawyer right behind you, and you still won't get the price. They do not have to sell you the car for that price. I'm sure there is fine print somewhere on the site, saying that prices may, can, and obviously will change. There is always a loophole for them to squeeze out of. Find something else, and do not do business with that dealer.

Email me a link to the car, i'm sure i can find something that clears them from liability.
