"MSRP" is a meaningless benchmark that is far in excess of the average retail price, even without any real negotiation.

[code_duck]

It constitutes a reasonable number from which to compare prices. For instance, 20% off MSRP, 40% off MSRP.

[loeg]

Not really. Percent off MSRP does not translate across models, across brands, or even across years for the same model and brand. (MSRP-to-real-prices inflates year to year.)

So you can't compare some percentage off other than the exact same vehicle sold in the exact same year. But you could already compare the exact sale price of two identical year/model vehicles.

I don’t see how, since there’s a billion different trim levels and models of the same care with different MSRPs.

Agreed. It's like comparing Hz among dissimilar CPUs.
