purchase price
The amount of money that must be paid to acquire goods, a service, or a legal asset.
Der Kaufpreis für das Haus muss innerhalb von vier Wochen bezahlt werden.
The purchase price for the house must be paid within four weeks.
The word is a clear compound of 'der Kauf' (purchase) and 'der Preis' (price). So it literally refers to the price for a purchase.
Der Kaufpreis für das Fahrrad war wirklich günstig.
The purchase price for the bicycle was really low.
Common verbs used in connection with the purchase price are 'bezahlen' (to pay), 'entrichten' (to pay, formal), 'aushandeln' (to negotiate), 'festlegen' (to set), or 'senken' (to lower).
Die Vertragspartner müssen den Kaufpreis noch aushandeln.
The contracting parties still have to negotiate the purchase price.
To say what the price applies to, you use the preposition 'für' (for) followed by the accusative.
Wie hoch ist der Kaufpreis für die Wohnung?
What is the purchase price for the apartment?
'Kaufpreis' (purchase price) is a neutral to formal term that is often used in contracts, real estate transactions, or commerce.
Im Notarvertrag wird der endgültige Kaufpreis festgehalten.
The final purchase price is recorded in the notarized contract.
value
'der Wert' and 'der Kaufpreis' both have to do with money. 'der Wert' describes roughly how much something is worth, for example based on its condition, age, or the market. 'der Kaufpreis' is the specific amount that someone has to pay or has paid when buying something. The words can be confused because both can appear as an amount of money. But the value and the purchase price are not always the same: a car can have a high value but be sold at a lower purchase price.
Der Kaufpreis für die Wohnung steht im Vertrag.
The purchase price for the apartment is stated in the contract.
Nach der Reparatur ist der Wert des alten Autos wieder gestiegen.
