What is MSRP and why is it important for auto dealerships?
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is the price recommended by a vehicle’s manufacturer for its sale to consumers. Also known as the sticker price, it serves as a baseline for negotiations between dealerships and customers. Understanding and effectively leveraging MSRP is vital for dealerships to price their inventory competitively, maximize profits, and transparently communicate value to potential buyers. While the MSRP is a suggestion, the actual sale price of a vehicle can vary based on market demand, inventory levels, and negotiation strategies.
