Yes, technically before it was signed by the customer, but a sales tactic non-the less. Nothing illegal, or even really all that unethical, but kind of greasy.
We are buying my wife's Mazda after her lease terminated this month. We are being charged !@#$ing $500.00 for the privilege of doing so. On top of all the other fees they are also going to stick us with this paperwork fee. We've paid 4 years of lease payments and are paying the full buyout price and we still have to eat another $500.00. No wonder people think car dealers are shady.
