Dealership Fees Added to Lease BuyOut Amount: Ripped Off?

Hi all,

Newbie here, don't know a thing about cars.

My 2018 Nissan Rogue lease is up soon. I was planning on doing a lease buyout, but the dealership is tacking on a $1,400 dealership fee, non-negotiable. Is this fairly standard, or am I getting ripped off?? The dealership is in Long Island, NY, for what it's worth.

Payoff quote I received from Nissan Finance was $14,966. Was shocked when actual payoff amount came to $18,500. I expected sales tax, the $300 purchase option fee, and maybe a few miscellaneous charges, but most certainly was not expecting $1,400 in dealership fees.

Any insight would be appreciated.

What's the terms on your lease? If the dealership fee is not in your terms then you may have an argument. If the wording is vague then you have not have a leg to stand on.

Stealthee is right; but also look at your original paperwork.. you might have already paid the dealership and delivery fees at lease signing; when you took possession..

Thank you both for your input. Not only was the wording in the lease contract vague, but the contract I had in hand was incomplete.

At the end of the day, I bought out the lease from another dealership (I thought it had to be done with the original dealership) that didn't charge ANY fee.

This is some of the the typical crap thst goes on with lease deals. Never accept any incomplete lease contracts, get a clear understanding of all the add on fees up front.

I would put in a complaint to consumer affairs.
I live in NC my daughter tried turning her car into another Jeep dealer. He gave her the $1500. BS also. Her husband called the bank got a payoff amount and paid it off. They sent him the title and registered it himself.
Looking back it wasn’t a manufacturers finance but a local bank.
