tsikot peeps, anyone know what "sticker price" means?

**roydok** · June 13th, 2003 11:25 PM

I think it's synonimous with the suggested retail price and cash price. :D

**newbee** · June 13th, 2003 11:27 PM

is that the price sa dealers or is it a little lower?

price sa dealers

kumbaga sa grocery, yan yung sticker na me nakaprint na price tapos nakadikit dun sa product mismo. --- price tag. :wink:

yan yung dealer's price... usually higher than the manufacturer's suggested retail price kasi pinatungan yung MSRP ng dealer markup. at least that's how i think it goes...

Yup, mbt got it right..... wag kang bibili ng sticker price. If you can, buy it close sa dealer's invoice price 8)

Sa U.S. kasi may literal na 'sticker' na nakadikit sa window ng sasakyang brand-new na for sale. May prescribed format ang sticker na ito and its against the law not to have one. Nakalagay dito ang base price (starting price) and the price of the options on the vehicle as well as the applicable taxes.

Kumbaga, its the price you need to pay to drive the car off the dealer's lot.

Not exactly..... sya yung basis ng price negotiations (pwera lang sa Saturn dealership where fix na talaga yung car price). Usually, MSRP yung nakalagay sa sticker plus the options na MSRP den. The best bet is to go online and see how much the dealer paid for the car and negotiate by using their invoice price (either by using the invoice price or by adding a few bucks to it).

Macky,
Even the registration is not included sa price pala.

It really pays to know the 'invoice price' unless nga na no-dicker sticker like in Saturn dealerships.

hindi naman applicable yan dito sa atin diba? one price lang lahat ng dealers. pero pwde ka makipag kulitan sa extra accessories or sometimes cash discounts. nung nabili namin yung patrol, dami ko din nahingi :mrgreen:
