I suspect it was Sales Tax that caused the previously mentioned $400 registration cost. Also, I think to register you car in Florida you need a Florida drivers license and address, but I am not 100% sure about that.
It was the cost of issueing a fl. title. and prices had changed recently, another way of raising taxes without taxing property.
