Cars How do you find Invoice price on Car?

Question

I am looking to buy a new car and want to know how you find the invoice price so you know how to negotiate a price at the dealer?

Answer 1

Go to Edmunds.com. You can click off all the options you are looking for or at, and it will tell you the MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price), the dealer invoice price, the average selling price of the vehicle, and also about any incentives or other rebates available to you or the dealer.

So far everything I found on there has been spot on.

Bill, above me is totally wrong. The consumer is not out to keep the dealer in business. We are out there to get the best deal we can. The dealer isn't going to sell a car unless it's in their best interest. Why should I pay $1,200 over invoice if the dealer would really sell me the car for $600 over invoice? If I don't like a deal, I can leave. If the dealer doesn't like a deal, he can refuse to sell it to me. It behooves both the dealer and seller to have as much info as possible. The dealers are never hesitant about asking us for info, like how much we're looking to spend.

Wow, your question sparked some anger in a few!!! Anyway it is quite easy to find the invoice price on a car. When you go to the internet, they will give you an invoice price that truly is not accurate. The reasons for this, are that different regions pay different amounts for advertisements and such. Dealerships help pay for the commercials you see on T.V. from manufacturers. When you see a Chevy Impala ad in your local area, it is helped paid for by your local Chevy dealerships. So the internet is not the best place. THE BEST place to go is, well, your local dealership. When you find the car you want, ask the dealership to look at the manufacturer's invoice. If they won't let you see it, don't buy from them. Ask them what they are trying to hide. You can look at Yahoo Auto's or Edmunds.com for a guide, but the actual invoice from the dealership is the only number you should concern yourself with. Good luck!!!

Yahoo, under the "autos" category. When you look up a model, it'll give you the invoice price and the recommend sticker price...

So basiclly you don't feel that the dealer should be able to make a profit, or that the salesman should get a commission so that he can pay his bills and feed his family.

You people amaze me
