If you take your total of payments and subtract the amount financed I'm betting that equals the finance charge. All that is telling you is that you have financed $27,727.5 and if you pay all 60 payments as planned you will wind up paying a total of $29,772.60. The difference is the interest you will have paid over the 60 months. It is not an additional $2k fee.
ah your right I am an idiot.

Yeah, you panicked a bit. Happens to everyone.

One thing a dealer can take advantage of during financing is to have a finance reserve (dealer reserve) without your knowledge. You have to ask questions, maybe take a look at their screen if they'll let you. I know I've been taken advantage of in the past. Recently I got a preapproval with the vendor's preferred lender so I knew my rate without any reserve before going in. I always have a backup plan if needed (my credit union rate). I'm learning.

"Dealers make their commission through what is known as a finance reserve. This is an extra percentage added to your interest rate - usually 1 to 3%.

Yea I usually just finance through my credit union but they were kinda uncompetitive on new stuff.
