bushing
n.— «When you buy a car, you know how great it feels to drive off in a nice set of wheels, even if the car isn’t brand new. But what do you do if the car dealer calls you back days later and says you need to pay more money? It’s an illegal car sales practice called “bushing.” The illegal practice is known as “bushing”—as in ambushing—but most consumers have never heard of it.» —“Illegal car sales tactic making waves again” by Connie Thompson KOMO-TV Jan. 17, 2008.
