If you don't have a web brouser, Edmund's new car price guide is
also available in paperback at your local bookstore or newsstand.
Has all the new cars with MSRP and Invoice prices of the basic
car plus all accessories/packages. Note that Invoice price is not
the final cost to the dealer. He also gets a "dealer holdback"
of about 3% of MSRP when he sells the car. So if a dealer sold
you a $15000 MSRP car for his invoice price he would still make
$450 profit on it.
