Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is not the actual cost of a new car. Actual price will be set by a dealer and normally it is lower than MSRP. You cannot expect to get a few thousands off from the car which cost less than $15,000, but typically dealers are willing to negotiate the price and offer reasonable discounts to attract customers and generate more sales.
