Any idea when Edmunds is going to update the TMV? Still showing list price as TMV. As evidenced by this thread, that would no longer seem to be accurate.

Edmund's TMV is never accurate. I've always bought for way less. Usually you can buy just about any vehicle at invoice or less if you are patient and deal only with the internet sales people.

You may well be right, at least to a point. Depends on the vehicle and the demand for it. Am pricing Murano LE against Highlander LTD.
 
One of the problems (at least with Toyota) is determining what exactly constititutes "invoice". Toyota lists destination, TDA (advertising), Holdback, and Whsl. Financial Reserve as seperate line items in the make-up of invoice. Very confusing (no doubt deliberatly so) and I have a quote for $500 above that number. This works out to be about $600 below TMV. The price is also in-line with Fitzmall which I tend to use as a guideline.
 
Your term "way less" is a bit vague. On a vehicle that lists in the high 30's, way less to me is at least $1000-1500. I freely admit that I reach the point quickly where I am not willing to get an ulcer over a 1/2 to 1% difference in price. I'm dealing with Thompson Toyota in Doylestown, PA - they have been there a long time and have an excellent reputation in the community.
 
We'll see how I make out at the local Nissan dealer who has also been there many years.

Like I said in an earlier post, they are $200 under invoice here and $300 under at Fitzmall. "Way less" than Edmunds TMV. I agree with about Toyota invoice. They also include regional advertising on their invoice.

Everyone is not buying these under invoice - and where I am at, they are selling in record numbers. A very respectable price is about $500 over invoice on an LE, that'll pay your sales person about a $100 commission! That'll give you about a $3000 discount off sticker. Anything less, they make a mini. What ever happened with the Consumer Reports rule that you should pay 4-8% above true cost?

I've never heard of any publication citing that you should pay 8% over true cost on a vehicle.
 
Most seem to advise 2-3% over invoice price on vehicles with hold back and slightly more on those without a holdback.
 
Certainly not 8%.
 
While it might be frustrating for you that Internet shoppers are looking for the best deal, regardless of your commission, there are plenty of suckers out there that you can still sell a car at full MSRP.
 
Not to mention all the chumps that you can sell into horrible financing deals and get a nice little extra profit.
 
Or the high dollar warranties and extras that get sold with many cars.
 
Ya, not feeling to sorry for the poor sales person who gets only $100 commission on a car.

What happened was the internet. And it is STILL very difficult to find out the true dealers cost. It is a rough time to be a new car salesman. New car dealers make their profits on service, warranties, and most of all on used car sales.

Drove this beauty home today, what a deal! by ggcars

We went in today at 3pm to test drive our pre-negotiated 2009 SL FWD (Premium, Leather, Tech, Moon Roof $31,149). No FWD on lot so we tried the AWD with an offered price of $31,749. No Moon Roof when we test drove it. This car was to replace our 2003 Mercedes E320 which we loved but wanted something under warranty. To get the same luxury features the Mercedes had we thought we'd try the LE as well. Needless to say we loved the LE but at $38,345 we hadn't planned to go there.
 
But at 7:30pm we drove off in our new 2009 LE Murano - Platinum Graphite, with all the bells and whistle except for Nav and DVD for $34,900 (plus tax and $90 license fee). It took an extremely long time through the finance department so they also offered us a $25 gift certificate at a local restaurant, 2 free tanks of gas, and tickets to the Brewers game of our choice from the owner! Now that is what I call a great deal and great customer service. This was in Milwaukee at Rosen Nissan.
 
If you are buying in Milwaukee or Illinois check out Rosen.
