i bet it looks better in person, pics never do anything justice.

[Domsz06]

anyone out there know a site you can actually see what invoice pricing is on cars? IE what the dealer is really paying?

[da.bell]

www.kbb.com would have this if the car is available.

[Domsz06]

i thought I looked there and it woulnd't give it, let me double check.

[da.bell]

It's buried into the car. Once you get to the new car listing, then on the left had side, there is a column that says " MSRP and Invoice "

[Domsz06]

yeah I found it. I just can't believe it, I thought there was more mark up in cars then 2 grand.

[da.bell]

There is a dealers storage fees that are not included in that price. The car manufacturer invoices for that amount and then kicks back some of it becuase they do not want the cars stored on the manufacturers lot. That amount is anywhere from 300 to 600. Just some food for thought.

[Domsz06]

i just thought that the dealers made a LOT more on the cars, I mean the altima coupe is listed at 2K above invoice. Just thought cars were more profitable.

[Domsz06]

i mean invoice on the z was 9 below msrp

Maybe a year or two ago when the economy was booming..... Today, they would be lucky. Don't you have enough auto's?????

THERE IS......... KBB WONT SHOW YOU THE REAL MSRP AND INVOICE...NOR WILL THE DEALER EVER SHOW YOU. THE ONLY PLACE TO GET REAL INVOICE IT THE DEALERS COMPUTER AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCESS ARE SALES MANG., CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FLEET. IF A SALES MAN BRINGS OUT THE A SHEET OF PAPER SHOWING YOU THE INVOICE IT FROM THE SALES MANG IT'S THEY NEVER!!! PRINT OUT THAT PAGE I KNOW BECAUSE MY WIFE SOLD CHEVY'S!!!!!

yeah I was trying to buy a lancer evo and this POS manager brings out the "invoice" and I laugh at him. I told him that's not it and no one would ever let you have it or show it to me, it doesn't work that way.

They didn't know how to deal with someone that doesn't need a car, but want's one.


da.bell, I'm needing a new daily driver. my 92 corolla is getting old. Want something I trust, as i'm driving around 2500 miles a month. With the amount of mileage I get it easily pays for the car

[da.bell]

It's all company driving... Right????

[Domsz06]

yup, pretty much.

I always figured that if the car was MSRP'd at 25K I could talk them down to around 20, but gues that's not the case these days.

[da.bell]

Why doesn't the company pay for the car? Then you can get that 24Ve on the East Coast.......
