New vehicle - MSRP?
OK guys - just want to know what to expect with prices - we've never (I mean never) bought a brand new vehicle, so want to get ideas on how it works. As we're getting older we are thinking of buyin...

Thanks for the replies! I should have mentioned - we'll probably wait till next summer, just want to get started on the thinking...
I guess that's another question - is there a best time of year to buy - like buying this year's model just when the new models come out?
I appreciate all the thoughts and advice.:)
Good thoughts on here so far - certainly can't compare auto sales to RV mark-ups. It's a totally different world. Different vehicle styles tend to have different mark-ups, so some shopping around online can help give you a better sense of potential prices.
As for time of year, yes, there are some better times than others. There are holiday and seasonal sales that can be had, but the least costly option is often at the turn of the model year. Buying a 2022 model year, as the 2023 models are coming out, is often some of the best pricing you will find. You are limited to inventory available to the dealer (local or regional, typically), and your new car will be a model year older than some other new cars, but the price is among the lowest you can find. Whether that trade-off is worth it is up to you.
