MSRP
Too Afraid to Ask
MSRP is the price a car maker says you should pay for a new car. It’s what shows on the sticker before any sales talk.
Technical Definition
MSRP stands for Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, the price a car manufacturer recommends dealers charge for a vehicle before any discounts or negotiations.
