From my understanding, invoice price is not necesarily what the dealer pays for the vehicle; it may make us more informed to know what they actually pay for a given vehicle, but at the same time, they have overhead to pay. No matter how good a deal we receive, they need to make some kind of profit, if not they could not possibly stay in business.

Edmunds.com is a good start but there are alot of different things to figure in. Dealers have "holdbacks" and special incentives that depend on existing inventories, etc. I don't think you'll ever know the exact dollar a dealer pays but you can get close.
