Yes, that information is definitely there, but it's still deceptive. The $16,900 that they want you to see is very prominent. The "*" looked like dirt on my screen and the very small and lightly shaded disclaimer 2/3 down the page wasn't nearly as easy to find.

Taxes seem to be calculated on the DMV fees, documentation fees, and filing fees. Is this typical in Fl? (bought my last car in a different state under different market conditions)
