CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

Does MSRP include destination and fees?

The base MSRP for a model usually does not include the destination charge, but the window sticker shows the total MSRP for that specific vehicle including options and the destination charge. Neither includes sales tax, title, registration or the dealer's doc fee, and dealer add-ons are typically listed on a separate addendum sticker. When comparing advertised prices, check whether destination is included, and ask for the full out-the-door price.
