You can find new car pricing at various on-line locations. Some websites contain information for one car manufacturer, while others provide information for all. The most complete websites include car prices, as well as dealer invoice pricing, helping you negotiate a better deal with a salesperson.
History
Auto manufacturers usually include base prices for their cars in print ads. This requires a visit to an auto dealership to obtain option and delivery pricing information.
Features
Now it is possible to obtain new car pricing on-line from manufacturers and independent third party websites that exist outside of manufacturer and dealership-owned websites.
Significance
The power of having new car pricing or dealer invoice pricing before you enter the car dealership is that it places you in control of the car buying experience. You can control the amount of time you spend at each dealership and prevent salesmanship from influencing your decision.
Considerations
Once you have limited your car choices to two or three models, you can visit one of several independent third-party websites (See References section for links) for dealer invoice information.
However, the dealer invoice price does not indicate what the dealer actually paid the manufacturer for the car. One website (ConsumerReports.org) will even help you determine the car dealer's actual cost for a fee.
Warning
The car salesman may dispute your invoice or actual cost prices. She may state that the prices are incorrect and she has the newest, higher, prices. Calmly tell him that you have had other dealerships accept these prices. This will usually work or you can visit another, more reputable dealership.
