There are also books that give itemized breakdowns of new car
prices.  About a year ago, I went to the public library and looked
at a book called "New Car Price Guide" or something like that.  It
gave dealer's cost for base models and options plus destination
charges.  It did not give information on "advertising fees" or
factory-to-dealer rebates, since they can vary.  However, when I
showed my numbers to the dealer and offered him cost for an Accord 
(based on the fact that I found out there was an end-of-the-year
incentive rebate to the dealer), he brought out the invoice and the
book was only about $50 off.  Actually, it would have been right on
except that the Accord was purchased midway through the year and the
factory price had gone up.

This method was very effective and absolutely FREE OF CHARGE!!!!
