Sticker Price (Monroney)

The MSRP-plus-options price on the window sticker.

Why it matters

The "sticker" or Monroney sticker is the federally required window display showing MSRP, options, fuel economy, safety ratings, country of origin, and destination charge. It's named after Senator Mike Monroney who wrote the 1958 law requiring it. The sticker price is the upper bound of negotiation on most cars — you should always pay below it.
