Too Afraid to Ask

Markups are when dealerships raise the price of a car above what the manufacturer suggests it should cost. This can happen if a car is very popular or hard to find.

Technical Definition

Markups refer to the increase in price that dealers add to the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of a vehicle. This can occur due to high demand or limited supply, leading to a higher final price for the consumer.
