“This is a question people ask a lot, so you’re not alone in wondering this!
MSRP means Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. The price is what the manufacturer recommends the retailer sell the product for.
The price takes into account things like the:
  • cost to make the product.
  • profit for the manufacturer.
  • cost to transport the vehicle.
  • profit for the retailer.
The retailer, which can be any merchant in any industry, can sell either above or below the MSRP. In the car industry, it’s common practice for dealers to price the vehicle above the MSRP so they can make a profit. The good news is that this means you can negotiate the price when
buying a new car
to help you save money.
You can also save money on your car insurance, though you can’t negotiate rates. Instead, you can save money on car insurance by shopping around and comparing rates. The
