I have been to three different dealerships (GM) and over and above the payment of Florida sales taxes, each dealer wants to mark up the sale contract by approx. $600-$800 to handle the paperwork. They disguise this paperwork fee as (Administration fee) (Florida Fees) (Paperwork settlement) etc.

While I do not mind paying a small/reasonable charge to complete a minimal computer generated paperwork situation, I think the mark up of $600-$800 is exorbitant and greedy. GM Financial (current lease holder) indicate they do not have any involvement in my purchase of the vehicle and dealers can charge whatever they want.

So, open for suggestions or if someone know a GM Dealer willing negotiate the paperwork price so that I may purchase the vehicle.????

Thank You
Always negotiate the purchase price at the beginning of your lease. You lose any/all leverage by negotiating at the lease expiration.
