Is dealer b.s ing? me or is this normal

So I been searching a lot getting the right x3 and ones I posted I was interested the dealers i contact never get back to me. (which is good sign they really don't care much). But the ones that do I will go to the lot etc.

I found one that I really want and seems like great deal with clean carfax. It was one day on cargurus with no saves. Next day i contact them and dealer mentions someone is test driving the car and is about to purchase but needed cosigner so not sure about status yet. Is this a sale ploy or do this usually happen on good deals. Considering it's a local dealer that is not BMW dealership, I'm suprised after 1 day on cargurus it can sell.

As someone who has worked with slimy salesmen in the past, the pessimist in me says this is just a sales tactic, or just a gross exaggeration of the truth. Get a deal you're happy with, or you won't be happy. That simple.
