sales tactic or genuine mistake

WHy the heck not? Just say the car developed a serious "fault" that needs mechanical attention and say its off the market and at the garage. But we do have the x5 in manual if interested. Customer would be over the moon with the "honesty" for not selling them a car with a "serious fault".

And what happens when the original customer sees someone cruising around the car the next day or next week?

And if someone wants an Auto X5 of a particular spec, miles and colour, no amount of selling is going to put them into a different manual X5 or vice versa.

Class 101 of Motor Trade Selling - you sell a car at a price you're happy with and the customer is happy with and move on to the next sale. You dont go back and sell the same car twice then try and dig youself back out of the first deal.
