Thank You, Mr. Monroney

The Monroney sheet: a window sticker history

The window sticker's story, and why you should be glad we have it 

What's on a Monroney sheet?

Enter the window sticker or, as it's commonly referred to, a new vehicle's Monroney. This handy sheet of paper is affixed to every single new car, truck, and SUV sold in the U.S. On it, you'll find a complete explanation about where the car was built, warranty details, a list of engine specifications, what options have been added, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the car, along with the price of individual options. More recently, official EPA-endorsed fuel mileage data and crash test ratings have been added to the Monroney, helping give car buyers more information when comparing vehicles when making a purchase decision.

So even if you've busted your laptop, or your smartphone is blinking red at 1 percent of charge, you still have the trusty Monroney to show you some fixed, comparable numbers so you have some foundation from which to negotiate.
