Do I have to take the dealer's word on the MSRP?

The 'M' in MSRP stands for 'Manufacturer's'. When a dealership adds on to the MSRP it is no longer a MSRP price. Car dealerships do this all the time - striping, protective coatings, etc. I've even seen 'additional dealership profit' as a line item on the latest hot car or truck that everyone wants. They may still talk about the price as if it's MSRP but it's not. I call it the Sticker Price.

One more reason I like to order instead of buying off the lot - I don't have to deal wuith that garbage.
