Tips on Buying Cars: buying a new 08 truck, competitive market, invoice

Question
i understand buying a car at invoice is a good deal.  what is better and how likely with large dealership?

Answer
Hi Nick,

Yes, generally, buying a car at invoice is a good deal. BUT, what you need to do, is research the truck that you want on kbb.com, edmunds.com, and nada.com to see what additional rebates or incentives may exist. If they sell you the truck at invoice but have a $1,500 incentive from the manufacturer, that's not as good a deal for you. In this competitive market, I feel that a $500 - $800 profit for the dealership is sufficient. Good luck!
