(MONEY Magazine) – WHAT'S THAT NEW CAR GOING TO COST? Use this guide to home in on price and boost your negotiating power. It's filled with data on 370 of the most popular 2005-model cars and trucks. Vehicles that we've chosen as best-in-class or runner-up are highlighted.

The data were compiled by automotive research company Autofastracks.com. The first two columns show the base sticker price (also known as manufacturer's suggested retail price, or MSRP) and the dealer's cost. The next two columns highlight sticker prices and dealer's costs for models equipped with basic popular options such as air conditioning, power windows and cruise control. (Sticker prices in these tables don't include destination, or shipping, charges, which range from about $480 to $800, so add those.)

The next column is a biggie: target price. This critical figure can give you a negotiating edge at the dealership. Because rebates and other incentives vary from month to month and region to region, we don't consider them here. Use the target as a baseline, and then subtract rebates to get a real-world idea of fair market price.

You'll also find a projection of resale value after five years, expressed as a percentage of the original sticker price; EPA city and highway fuel economy; and relative insurance costs compared with other models in a vehicle's class.
