I have bought 2 new cars in the last 18 months. My first was a Chevy Suburban Z71. I noticed on my sales paperwork that they back dated the sales date. I suspect this was done for "sales numbers" at the end of the month. Now I looked closely at the final bill of sale on my Challenger and I see that they played games with some of the numbers. I did end up paying what my agreed price was on my sales agreement. What I noticed was ....they told me that I was getting a thousand dollar rebate. My final bill of sale showed $1500 rebate. My original agreement shows 35,757$. My final bill of sale showed 36212$ at the top. Some minor additions were later added for registration fees. They also charged me 12.50$ for waste tire management fee. I did not trade in any vehicle. I didn't argue about the 12 bucks. My friend is the general sales manager and did cut my price , substantially , compared to other dealers I visited. Does anyone else find this occurring ?

Yes, I had a tire disposal fee as well. They do mess with the numbers but the price you paid is what matters. I traded a car once and they inflated the sales price and the trade in price to make them look better but as long as the "what I owe" was the same I didn't care. If you notice you pay sales tax on the rebated amount.

Some dealers document items based on their bookkeeping system....if the bottom line is what you agreed to then all is good...

Yep, this is true. Can make a difference in taxes at the DMV.
