Question For AutoBrag: Negotiated Price
Question: Is the negotiated price the total price, including destination charge?
Queen of the Road: Hi there! Great question.
The negotiated price is the selling price. The selling price is the price that the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. That’s the price BEFORE all those other fees are considered. Fees such as tax, registration, dealer fees, etc..
The destination charge usually means a line item on the window sticker of the car. It is the cost of the manufacturer transporting the vehicle from the port or point of build to your local dealer.
Since this item is on the sticker that means the negotiated price includes this destination charge. However, if the consumer needs the car shipped to another location and is not picking up the vehicle then the dealership will in most cases charge for the extra service.
