With all the terms involved inNissan financing, it can be overwhelming to understand your options. Our financial experts at Woodhouse Nissan Bellevue are highlighting a vehicle’s MSRP, as well as what goes into determining a vehicle’s cost, to help you shop with confidence. 

What is MSRP? 

The acronym MSRP stands for Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price. As the name implies, this is the price that the manufacturers of new Nissan vehiclessuggest that the vehicles are sold for. This isn’t necessarily the price you will pay for the vehicle. 

How is MSRP Determined? 

When a manufacturer sets an MSRP, they look at how much it costs for them to produce the vehicle and the demand for the vehicle in the market. They also factor in added costs to ensure that all parties involved (manufacturer, dealership, etc.) make a profit on the sale.

Is the MSRP the Price I Pay?

Oftentimes, the MSRP is also referred to as the sticker price. This isn’t always the price that drivers will pay for the vehicle. It can be marked up to account for the rise in demand for vehicles. Plus, there has been a shortage in vehicle production in recent years, which also causes a rise in costs.

What are the Additional Costs of a Vehicle? 

It’s also important to keep in mind, MSRP isn’t the final price of a vehicle. Your MSRP, as we mentioned, is the price that manufacturers recommend the vehicle itself sells for. That doesn’t include tax for the vehicle, as well as registration costs and fees.

Can I Negotiate the MSRP? 

The MSRP of most cars is negotiable, to a certain point. Naturally, all vehicles have a bottom line. Keep in mind, for some vehicles, the MSRP is the bottom line, so it isn’t always possible to get a lower price. 

It’s important to discuss your financial needs with our team when you shop so we can help ensure you get a vehicle that works with you and your budget.
