How big is the leftover discount?
Of the 8,584 new 2026-model-year cars we checked, 75.5% were advertised below MSRP. The median one was $2,357 under. Of the 6,603 new 2027 models, 55.1% were below MSRP, with a median of $526 under.
The table lists the 2026 models with the largest median discount. It only includes models with at least 40 listings at five or more stores. A median of 15% means half of that model’s listings were cut by more than 15% and half by less.

The same model as a 2026 or a 2027
When a store has both model years, the 2026 usually carries the bigger cut. The median 2026 Nissan Rogue was $6,464 under MSRP and the median 2027 was $2,802 under. A 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee was $5,671 under, while the median 2027 was listed $665 over.
Before you take the bigger discount, compare the two cars at the same trim. A 2027 can have a different sticker, new standard equipment or a new design, and the window sticker shows what you get. Also think about selling it later. Used-car prices are set by model year, so a 2026 bought this month will be valued as a year older than a 2027 bought the same day.

Models still listed at sticker or above
Honda listings split almost evenly, with 49% at sticker or above. The median 2027 CR-V, Civic, Odyssey and Passport were exactly at sticker, and 43% of the 486 2027 CR-Vs were advertised above it. Toyota looked similar. The 2026 RAV4 and Grand Highlander medians were at sticker, and 59% of 2027 Corollas were listed over MSRP, by a median of $575. The 2027 Kia Telluride, K4 and Seltos were also at sticker.
You can still ask for a lower price on these models. Expect a smaller cut than on the leftover models above, and get quotes from more than one store.
Some stores add the same dollar amount to every new car they list. One BMW dealer group listed all 533 of its cars exactly $425 over MSRP. A Kia store added $478 to all 122 of its cars, and a Subaru store added $180 to 141 of its 188. When the same amount appears on every model, ask the store what it pays for and whether you can decline it.
What the advertised price can leave out
An advertised price can include manufacturer rebates that only some buyers get. Common examples are financing through the brand’s own lender, a loyalty offer for current owners and a military discount. Ask for the price without any conditional rebate, then add back only the ones you qualify for.
Tax, registration and the dealer’s documentation fee are usually extra. The FTC suggests asking the dealer to confirm the car is on the lot and to send the out-the-door price in writing before you leave home. That total is the number to compare between stores.
We compared each dealer’s advertised price with the MSRP on the same listing. We did not check which rebates are inside a price, and a car can sell or change price after we read it.

How we counted
On 13 November 2026 we read every new-car listing published on Car Handshake. After counting each VIN once, that was 15,959 US vehicles from 131 dealerships in 33 dealer groups across 20 states. We kept the 15,437 that had both an advertised price and an MSRP within 40% of each other, listed by 128 of those dealerships. A model needed at least 15 listings at three or more stores to appear in a table.
These are the dealerships that list with us, so the figures describe their inventory. Other dealers in your area may price the same model differently, and national surveys will produce different averages.
