A car’s window sticker, also known as a Monroney label or Monroney sticker, is required for every new car sold in the U.S.

The material of the decal is crucial to its durability and longevity. Vinyl is the most commonly used material for car decals as it is weather-resistant and can withstand extreme temperatures.

Of course a dealership can ultimately charge whatever it wants for a vehicle, but the window sticker at least confirms the starting point for a car’s price before a car dealer alters it.
