    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

After searching many dealers in many different states, if the dealer doesn’t show price or window sticker and it says call for pricing, 99% of the time they are marking up it up above MSRP. The first example was marking up $6800 and the second was MSRP.

While it is certainly a good indicator when they show prices on their website, the only way to be sure is to call.

Even then, the only way to be absolutely sure is to have a purchase contract printed out. This is the only time the dealer can’t flip flop on pricing anymore.
 
The only true way is to get a quote. Some dealers just say they sell above MSRP but some say that they sell at MSRP and tack on the extra as packages like tint, paint and protection. Even going so far as to say that those extra packages are mandatory. Just get a quote or ask if they sell at MSRP with no dealer add ons.
