MSRP(Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price), is the total price listed on the window sticker without any add-ons like tax, title, registration, document fees or added accessories that you might have the dealer install. The only way you get the full picture of the total price is ask how much it's going to cost you out the door with all these items included.. You also want to have some kind of idea what your payments would be for the length of time you expect to pay for it. You might find out you can't afford it before you even go in to talk to them. Tax, title, and registration varies by state also. I live in Connecticut and here say you have a trade the new car total cost is $30,000 and you get $10,000 for your trade you only get taxed on the remaining $20,000. That may vary between states also. Hope this helps.
