Not sure this is the best way to explain it, but a former dealer explained it to me like this: the "invoice" is nothing more than a gimmick. He suggested asking any store to show you their invoice and see what response you got. The most likely response would be it is none of your business. It has little to do with the cost of the car to the dealer, but is just something to put out there for public consumption. He told me that just as Kelly Blue Book has a "price a car was worth" that dealers had a "white book" that has their actual costs. I once bought a car for "invoice" and the dealer had to pay another dealer $300 to get the car for me and had to pay the salesman for selling the car to me. I don't believe he did this as a community service, but did it for a profit. My friend told me if you want to get an idea of how much the dealer actually paid for the car that you should buy it and put a "for sale" sign on it and see how much YOU could sell it for. He said that would be in the neighborhood of what a dealer paid for the car because the market works pretty well.

Hey Oyster,
I bought at Fitzmall and I was thrilled. They have a terriffic reviews here on this site. Check em out under toyota and their zip.
The internet price was the price i paid. I had to pay NJ state fees after I drove the car back home. Awesome experience which all dealers were like em.

gpb59,
I purchased a 10 XLE v6 w/o nav for 27300. If you don't need the nav, why not get a 10 w/o the miles?
Good luck

Thats a good idea, plus You will have a 2010 model vs 2009. Also it will increase the resale value. Also You can enjoy all one touch windows and the minor facial change and also what about the cool looking tail lights. Hey by the way are they LED's now? Enough Also's. Its your choice in the end.
Thankyou

in2explore I am thinking about making a trip from NJ to the Pa Fitzmall . About a 3 hr. drive. From dealer reviews everyone claims they walk on water. Other than internet price what other fees do you have to pay. Has anyone gone to a local dealer and asked can they beat or match Fitzmall price?

Dealerships never let me know the exact APR ?

I went to local dealerships. (I am in small town, population is around 50k)
They never let me know the exact APR. Is that general in "buy cars" ?
They just tell the monthly payment. I cannot understand what they are doing.

No, that is not standard practice. The dealerships do know what the APR rate is (Finance Department), now someone in sales may not know the rate and may ask you what monthly payment you're looking for but don't fall for that trap as you may wind up paying more for the vehicle than you should. If possible try to secure a loan before going to the dealership and then see if they can beat the interest rate.
