Thank for replying. I found invoice pricing thru http://www.kbb.com and http://www.edmund.com, which shows invoice at what you stated above. But I thought there is another pricing for "Dealer Invoice", it's the price that dealer bought the car for. Anyone know this dealer purchase price?

Thanks again,
Mickey

When I was in college, I worked at a large car dealership in Houston. I sold 25-30 cars a month, did a lot of the finance work myself, and was involved in almost every aspect of buying and selling cars.

Point is, I did all this, and I STILL had no idea what the vehicles actually cost the dealership. There are all kinds of factors, both before and after the retail sale, that determine how much a dealer actually pays the car company for the car. As you can tell, it is a pretty closely guarded secret - the only person who actually knew at this dealership was the owner.

You are better off not worrying about what the dealer paid. Just work your numbers from the invoice price, and you will get a good deal.

Besides, I have a few clues that the actual amount the dealer pays is pretty close to the invoice number on a car like the 350Z.
