a. "low-balling."

Explanation:

When a dealer makes a low-ball offer, this implies that an item or  service is provided at a reduced cost than is actually required in order to  reach the required profit margin.

The dealer makes the offer in an attempt to raise the price rapidly to boost  revenues and/or to sell extra, more lucrative products and services to prospective  customers.
