    Actually, you can find out their invoice price, but not their add ons. But, being on the other side of this question I wonder…

    When you go to a supermarket do you ask what price they pay for a six pack of beer?

    When you go to McDonalds do you get to know how much they mark up a Big Mac?

    When you buy a TV, do you get to know the dealers invoice price?

    See my point?

    I’ve worked at a new car dealership for 20 years, never heard of any website or published figures.

    Consumer reports will tell you what invoice is. They pay between 500 and 1500 below invoice if they do decent volume and its a car that sits on their lot.

    alot of dealers use manheim auto auction when buying vehicles, but the information is not availible to the public.. Figure most vehicles are bought by dealers a couple thousand dollars below edmunds trade in value…
