Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

At the end of my 3 year auto lease, I decided to purchase the car. I was unable to buy the car from the leasing company because of florida law; I needed to go to a GM dealership. Much to my suprise, I was charged a dealers fee of $599. The agreement never stated any of this. It stated that at the end of the lease if I wanted to purchase the car I would need to pay the residual value, plus official fees(I take that to mean, registration, license government fees) and sales tax. Is this legal?

If not in the fine print, it is an unfair business practice. See a lawyer. For a consumer lawyer in your area, go to
