My 3 yr lease was up last month. I called the dealer to arrange to buy the car and was told there would be a $170 inspection fee plus $800 documentation fee. I pointed out Paragraph 8 of my Lease Contract with Subaru Finance stated dealers may charge a maximum of $300 for this service. When challenged I was told I can take my business elsewhere. I discovered all the dealers in Vancouver and surrounds charge between $800 & $850 for this service, except for Coquitlam at $495.
Subaru Finance say they have no influence over dealers charges. Subaru leases are between their Finance arm and you, the customer, not the dealer who is an agent. I have a Barristers letter prepared claiming misrepresentation and breach of contract. If your lease is due to end soon, do point out Paragraph 8!
