Auto Dealer InvoicesWritten by Peter Emerson Posted: 1/22/08
The process of buying a car from an auto dealership involves buyers making offers to dealers on the cars. Buyers need to arm themselves with the necessary information about the pricing and costs of cars in an auto dealership, because knowledge on these things can help buyers make a fair offer based on the actual cost of a car. Among the different aspects of the pricing of cars in auto dealerships, three of the most important include the invoice price of the car, the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), and the incentives that manufacturers provide to auto dealers. All of these will have a significant effect on the offer that buyers make for cars.
The first step in the process of selling a car in a dealership is for auto dealers to buy cars that they would put on their lot from different manufacturers. Subsequently, the manufacturers issue an invoice to auto dealers for the cars. However, what manufacturers do not include in the invoice is the deduction in the price that they give dealers as incentive, which usually amounts to $500 for the dealer to sell their cars and in some cases, manufacturers also deduct a 2% holdback on the cars. In addition to this, manufacturers also put a manufacturer’s suggested retail price on the car, which are usually 12% to 13% higher than the invoice price. As expected, auto dealers would be more than willing to show their customers the invoice price of the cars, together with the MSRP, to show that they are charging a fair markup on the car. In most cases, dealers even offer prices that are lower than the MSRP. What buyers do not know is that given the incentives and the deductions that manufacturers give to dealers, dealers are always assured of a profit even if they sell the car at a price that is near the invoice price. Given this, the traditional rule of adding 5% to the invoice price, which is considered a good offer price, ends up giving dealers about 10% to 20% in profits.
When making an offer for a car, buyers should be aware of how cars in an auto dealership are priced, which includes getting information on terms like the invoice price and the manufacturers suggested retail price. This is because being aware of the different aspects that goes into the pricing of cars in dealerships would allow buyers to make a fair offer to dealers based on what dealers actually paid for the car.
