Factory List Price
The Factory List Price (FLP) is used to help calculate the Vehicle License Tax (VLT).
The FLP can also be referenced as the MBRP, which stands for the Manufacturer Base Retail Price. The MBRP is the price a vehicle costs without any add-ons requested by the buyer.
Obtaining a Vehicle FLP for a Non-Commercial Vehicle or Trailer
The FLP can be established using one of the following:
- NADAGuides.com
- Factory Invoice
- National Automobile Dealer’s Association Vehicle Appraisal Guide (NADA)
- Manufacturer’s invoice
- Manufacturer issued dealer’s invoice
- Conversion invoice(s) and receipt(s)
- Factory List Price Guide Book Trucks/Trailers
- Truck Blue Book
- Vehicle Manufacturer’s website
- The T&R Application (Single) submitted, from the dealer, with all other documentation
- Contacting a local dealership
- When using this method, document the below in the “Other Information/Mobile Home Section” of the T&R application or Arizona Title Summary page:
- The name of the dealership you contacted
- The phone number you called
- The name of the representative you spoke with
- The date you called
- The FLP the representative gave you
- When using this method, document the below in the “Other Information/Mobile Home Section” of the T&R application or Arizona Title Summary page:
If the MBRP cannot be determined, the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) can be used as the FLP.
For MCOs ONLY:
When the above ways to determine the FLP does not work, your absolute last resort will be to use the purchase price on the sales invoices provided by the customer. You will need to make a copy of the sales invoice to show how the FLP was determined.
See an upline approver if the FLP cannot be obtained by any of the mentioned methods.
Establishing the FLP for a Commercial Vehicle (18,000+ lbs GVWR)
Manufacturer Certificate of Origin (MCO)
When a customer wants to title and register a commercial motor vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 18,000 pounds with a MCO, the sales price will be used to determine the FLP.
- The sales price is the purchase price of the vehicle itself, not including sales tax, document fees, the price of a warranty, or add-ons requested by the buyer
The dealer sales invoice or contract will be required. If a sales invoice or contract is not available, use the MBRP.
Used Vehicle (Out-of-State or Arizona Title)
When a customer wants to title and register a commercial motor vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 18,000 pounds with an out-of-state or Arizona title, the following can be used to determine the FLP:
- Manufacturer base retail price
- Price Digest (web-based resource)
- Contacting a dealership or manufacturer may be done when a price may not be obtained from one of the above
