FTC AMA or ATA... ask Tom Kline anything about the FTC

Hello! The challenge is being compliant and knowing what is really required, without overdoing it. For example, we have our fees listed on the VDP, etc. What about homepage banners? Our agency is listing the doc fee on the homepage banner for any vehicle. Is there a one-click rule to get to the specifics? Instead of MSRP, should we list it as "Total Price" and include the fee? I don't see any other dealer websites posting like this.

Is there a website example out there that is correct to reference?
Thanks!
