There are web sites where you can check dealer cost on new cars. With used cars it's harder...
Why do you need to know? If you pay $20,000 for a car and the dealer's cost was $19,700 you are happy, but if you pay the same $20,000 and the dealer's cost was $17,000 you feel bad, you feel cheated?
Who cares what they pay? You should know the market value of the car you are buying (what this car goes for at most dealerships) then try to bring the price down as much as you can and buy it. Do you care how much your local market pays for a gallon of milk? What's the difference?

websites like edmunds.com will show you the "invoice price" which is what the dealers supposedly pay. In reality they pay lower as they get kick backs and deals for buying in bulk from the manufacturer.

If it is a new car, it will be listed in various car books. If it is a used car, there is no way to find out.

Ask them, by law, they have to tell you, follow that with requesting to see the title. Also, ask if a vehicle has been insurance destroyed, or does it have a salvage/rebuilt title.
