Leaving Blanks on Paperwork (Car Buying Tips)

Every document that you sign while buying a car is a legal document. When you put your signature to anything, it holds you accountable for everything that is on the page you signed. Dealers have been caught adding things to documents after the customer has already signed.

When you sign paperwork at a car dealership, make sure there are no blank lines. For each blank line, write in something such as “N/A” or “Not applicable.” Get the F & I officer to initial each of these lines. Do not sign any documents until all of the blanks have been filled in. Get a photocopy of every document that you were shown and every document that you signed. It could come in very handy if anything goes wrong later.
