Score breakdown
Evidence
A new 2026 Toyota Corolla page on tascatoyotaboston.com shows TSRP $24,429, a Documentation Fee line of $499, and an Advertised Sale Price of $24,928, and its disclaimer says prices include the doc fee. The store's specials fine print for the same model instead calls sales tax, registration and the $499 documentation fee additional to the offer price. The two channels contradict each other.

What would change this grade
- Align the specials fine print with the vehicle pages: stop calling the $499 fee additional where the vehicle price already includes it (in-price 15 to 30 and consistency 5 to 10; total 88, an A)
