Is Car Advertising Deliberately Dodgy - Seat Ibiza?

Cheap Seat Ibiza Sports Coupe £138
I am increasingly frustrated with car advertising. That's whether I'm intending to buy or lease. My latest frustrating experience concerns a SEAT Ibiza Sports Coupe. This was advertised at a lease price of £138 plus VAT per month.

When I contacted the company, the colour I wanted was an extra £12 per month. £12 per month equates to 8.7% of the original price. So after considerating that the colour didn't matter that much I asked the salesman for any colour that could be supplied at the £138 price being advertised. Sadly, the salesman was unable to locate any car for that price. Meanwhile, as I make this posting, the car is still being advertised at £138 per month on both the company's website and through Google Adwords. The website even has a labe of "in stock" next to price. Apparently, as I've found out, no stock exists at the price quoted.
