What's the Dealer Invoice Price?
The dealer invoice price is what a dealer pays the manufacturer for a vehicle, typically lower than the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) you see on the sticker. Unlike MSRP, which is the retail price set for consumers, the invoice price serves as a baseline for negotiations. Knowing this price gives you the upper hand when negotiating and helps you avoid overpaying.
While the invoice price reflects the dealer’s cost on paper, hidden discounts and manufacturer incentives often reduce their true expense. This means you may be able to negotiate below the invoice price, especially on less popular models or during sales events. If a particular vehicle has been sitting on the lot for months on end, you can certainly negotiate below the dealer invoice price.
Understanding the invoice price, combined with tools like market pricing and target discounts, gives you a full picture of a vehicle’s value. Armed with this knowledge, you can confidently negotiate a fair deal and avoid inflated offers or unnecessary fees.
