What is a Window Sticker on a Vehicle?
A window sticker is the official label that every new car gets from the factory. You’ve probably seen these white and black stickers on car windows at dealerships. They’re also called Monroney labels, named after a senator who made them required by law back in 1958.
The sticker shows everything about the car. You’ll see the price, the features, the gas mileage, and the safety scores. It tells you what color the car is, inside and out. It lists every single extra feature that came with the vehicle.
