* We compare like with like: the dealer's posted total if it shows one, otherwise the advertised price. Taxes, title and registration are never included, so ask for the out-the-door price (the full amount you would pay). Real Price is the price in the middle of the listings we compared. It is not a sale price. A price drop means the advertised price went down.
