Perhaps I miss this in another thread...

But I am confused about the term MSRP
On Mazda factory window sticker it has a MSRP price and then a final MSRP price that includes the destination charge
So, when a reviewer says that the MSRP is $26,000 do they mean with or without destination charge?

I'm thinking it includes destination, where was this price,,,was it on a cx3

Yes

Consumer Reports mentioned $26K for the GT they test drove.
$26K is close to my max price so adding $880 destination charge makes a difference.

“Still, you’re getting a ton of features for around $26,000 for a loaded GT-trim model.“

As far as I know is without the extra's just the price of the vehicle itself and nothing more, any more is additional although it is a must, you have to pay for destination.

Agreed. Its the base price of the vehicle. Then you add destination charges and any port installed items (etc.) till you reach the "total" msrp. Destination can vary so it's not usually quoted by those who review autos.

26 k is pretty good for a loaded gt,if so Mazda has something hear.

With a destination charge. The customer has to pay the destination charge. You can’t opt out of paying it. Each auto maker sets its own destination charge. It can vary in the U.S. I think the destination charge for dealers in Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Territories can be a different amount than a continental U.S. destination charge.

So maybe they print it like that because the destination charge is a non-tangible part of the car and the amount can vary.

Usually when the price is quoted they will specifically say "including destination charges" or "before destination charges."

The only time they'll not charge you destination is if they're really desperate to push the vehicle and want to pull you in more.

Translation: Expect to pay destination for a new vehicle anticipated to be in high demand.

Expect to always pay destination. If they are "waving" the destination charge, the dealership is making up on you elsewhere.
