If you’re in the market for a new vehicle then you probably have a lot of questions about the car buying process like what MSRP is and how is it determined. MSRP stands for Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price and is a number that the manufacturer recommends a San Diego dealership sells a vehicle at. Also known as the list price, the manufacturer determines this price based on market information on the vehicle’s popularity, the materials that go into building it, and much more. Learn more about what MSRP means, how it’s set, and how you can use it to get a fair price on your next car with the team at Mossy Toyota!
The Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price – the MSRP – is a recommended price for dealers to sell a vehicle. Most La Jolla shoppers will only encounter the term MSRP when shopping for a vehicle, and it will be accompanied by other automotive terms like base price, invoice price, and transaction price. Each of these terms is used to determine the value of the MSRP to the buyer and the dealership. Learn more about what an MSRP is below:

The MSRP may be the price the manufacturer recommends for the vehicle, but it is not the price you have to pay for a vehicle. Oftentimes the difference between what the dealer paid for the vehicle and the MSRP is several thousand dollars, meaning that the dealership will still make a profit even if you buy the car at a price lower than the MSRP.
