After backing out a holdback of about $820+ one would believe that Carmax is selling this vehicle at their cost Invoice $25,820 - holdback $820= $25,000. Any CPA. yours included, all know that nobody stays in business selling their goods/services at cost. Maybe mac24 can comment here but there's got to be more to the story here than these numbers.

Since you asked!
 
When it comes to vehicle pricing the only thing I know for a certainty, is that there's a lot I don't know. The only people that really know the full story are the dealer principal, and maybe his CPA. Certainly not any of the sales staff or management, none of whom could care less. They only need to know how much a vehicle can be sold for at any given time, which is constantly moving target.
 
Invoice price is a real number, holdback and advertising can be guessed at, the rest is a fog. Every business has different costs for selling the same item, some fixed some variable, so some places can profitably make a deal that others can't match. Additionally, although invoice pricing is the same for all dealers, incentives of various types are not.
 
The only important number is the one that you pay. The best price is never the advertised one, even at a 'no haggle' store. The cleanest way to that best price is to negotiate an 'OTD' (Out the Door) price. That's the price you pay (plus tax, tag and title) to drive away as an owner. No dealer prep, no doc fees, no add-ons.
 
Simple!

I do not know if you read my post, but my dealer placed an order for a sahara, freedom top, auto, 18' wheels, power pack., red rock 10 days ago...As of Friday the order had not moved, he called Detroit & (I guess he knows the guy, deals with him often enough I suppose)& asked him if he could put the order through, he had to get back to him because it was the Friday before Memorial day & the big bosses were not around..My dealer said there was a 90% chance it would go through at $500 over invoice....As far as Wranglers on the lots, dealers are getting basically sticker for them, the demand is there, so no need to lower the price....Good luck!!

I do not know if you read my post......
 
Yes, I did read your post and this was part of my reply:
 
".....some orders may arrive quickly, others may take the last known lead time, and yet others will not be built at all."
 
I hope it gets built for you.

As far as Wranglers on the lots, dealers are getting basically sticker for them, the demand is there, so no need to lower the price. I see new Wranglers like the model you ordered on EBAY for less than invoice. Same deal at Carmax. If one is willing to travel below invoice is definitely achievable. The key word here is, if.

Thanks, I hope it gets built also.......
Stopped by the dealer yesterday(5-30) to check the status..He once again called Detroit & he was told that his dealership had used up their May allocation(he didn't know this?)...Anyway, since the order was given a vehicle order number, there was a good chance it would be picked up starting June 1st...The guy from Detroit was going to track the order......He told me to stop by tomorrow 6-1 & check...
We'll see what happens....

The dealer told me today that my order for an 07 was going to be turned into a 08 model year...The plant closes for 2 weeks in early July, he said I'll have the car in early September(I'm not going to hold my breath), but no reason to doubt him, he's a big shot at the dealership, nice guy))...I told him to stick with the order....Does anyone know of any changes for the 08's??....

I asked him about a price increase for the 08's......He said if any, it's miniscule...Just have to be patient now & wait....
