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 buying a new SUV - mainly for reliability and ease of someone else servicing it.So - when I see the MSRP on a website - is that the real price? Can I expect them to go down 30% like I hear they do with RVs?Help us figure out how it works before we go shopping. :)

Like any vehicle sales, make an offer, they'll accept or counter. Be aware though, most vehicles are selling at Murphy or higher righ now

No new vehicles have a 30% markup -- or anywhere even close to that. Do your research before making any offers. You want to be construed as a serious buyer, and making an offer of 30% off true MSRP certainly will not convey that message to the seller.

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.:)

Without getting too far into the weeds, are you a member of a group that could help? Costco Samsor some insurances like USAA offer buyers assistance. If you dont want to wade into it alone, one of these may help at least to give you an idea of a starting point.
