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.
