Question: Is it legal for a car dealership to advertise a vehicle at one price and then charge a higher price at the point of sale by adding on fees for features that were already included in the advertised vehicle?

Answer: In a case where a vehicle was purchased at a price different from the advertised price due to undisclosed add-ons and a reduced trade-in value, if the final purchase agreement signed by the buyer reflected these changes and the buyer had a reasonable opportunity to review the agreement before signing, the buyer would be bound by the terms of that agreement. If the trade-in value and other financial adjustments were clearly stated in the contract that was signed, it would be challenging to argue that there was deception or fraud, even if the dealership's practices seemed unethical. You should consult with an attorney if you find yourself in this situation.
