When you sign a contract with a company, you're entering an agreement with the company, not the person that signed it. That signature binds the company even after the employee leaves.Here's the deal regarding a signed contract with agreement that they will sell at a price. What if that individual is no longer employed by that business? They no longer represent that business, rendering said contract null and void, at least with that dealer. You get a signed contract with one signature of one individual a year prior to arrival, entirely possible that they might not be there at delivery.
Unethical is still wrong, and it has nothing to do with the buyer exercising "personal responsibility". It has everything to do with the seller being a freaking crook and a swindler. How's that for "personal responsibility"? It is called bait and switch. It is considered illegal in many jurisdictions. It's also difficult to prove and harder to enforce, but make no mistake about it, it is wrong.
I think someone upthread said it best: it would be like you buying something on Amazon, and when the UPS guy arrives, they say "we want another $10 or we're keeping it."
