So, where is that extra $1500 coming from to get to $27,916? Irrelevant, their discounted price is what matters. Their fees make the deal screwed, see below:


The car tax for Florida is 6%, which is $1493.94 Adding that to the $24899 "discounted" price gives us $26,392.94 which is the price of the car plus tax.

Now the difference between that number and the $27,916 OTD price is what they are charging you for Title and License, DOC fees, and whatever other bullshit they felt like sticking into you. This number comes to $1523.06

Let's read that again...they want $1523.06 for Title, License, and DOC, blah blah blah fees? Holy shit. Have you ever paid a yearly registration for a vehicle? Around $50-75(Texas). That's the "License" part of T&L which is actually registration. The title in Texas is $30 or so, probably similar in Florida.

You don't have to pay a penny of that DOC fee, regardless of what amount it is. However, they don't have to sell you the car. My point is, the DOC fee is NOT required by law to be charged. If they insist, simply tell them to take it out of the OTD offer you made them so it is shown on the paperwork.

Whoa, great breakdown, thanks man. Definitely going to have to ask about that, see where they're adding on the extra crap.

From what I saw when I was there, the whole car is completely stock, with the older bespoke upgrade. No other dealer add-ons. They tried to tack on the Toyota Elite guard thing fro another $700-800 which he probably added on to that MSRP.

Can DMV's give you the exact price for a new tag and registration?
