How does the RRP of new cars work?

Hi,

How does the RRP of new cars work? When I look at the Honda.ie website it says RRP for a new CR-V ES at €34,895. When I went to the dealer the price they gave is €36,945.

Can you explain this?

Thanks

Hi Harry,

RRP is the Recommended Retail Price and it’s the price at which the car maker and importer thinks the car should be sold at, in basic form minus such things as options or delivery charges. It’s possible that the car you were looking at was being quoted as net of any extra equipment and the delivery charge.
