A daughter is new car shopping for a Hyundai(they are supposed to be much better made now)and she used Consumer Reports to find the Invoice Price. She is nowhere near a seaport but the difference in Invoice & Sticker is only $200....
It has been a long time since i bought new and i though my Chevy Invoice was much lower than the sticker. I understood that knowing the invoice was a good baseline to bargain with the dealership.
Do any FReepers know if her Invoice from Consumer Reports is bogus or is there a better place to find invoice prices ?? Thanks.
You totally missed my point, and you have a shitty attitude towards the notion of business and profit. I think you might feel more at home with liberal anti capitalist websites. I can recommend a few. Of course, they might make a profit off of your click thru’s and we wouldn’t want that....

Forget the sticker, find a car you like on the lot and have the cajones to make the dealer an offer YOU THINK IS FAIR. Then be prepared to walk away if they turn it down. Car buying 101.<
The vendor/customer adversarial relationship is the essence of the free market.
Personal attacks are the playground of a loser.
The best time to buy a car and work a deal is on a cold rainy Tuesday in March around 10:45 AM. Never buy a car on the weekend- EVER.
Adam Smith would laugh at such an absurd statement. As would Ronald Reagan, as would Milton Friedman, as would Thomas Sowell, as do I. You know not a flippin thing about the essence of the free market. The essence of the free market is win win, not adversarial.

Edmond’s is a good place to get a good idea. Hyundai is probably a good bet - quality and they back it with a 100K drive-train warranty.
And by the way, when someone takes that amount of time to type up a reply to your question, it’s customary to say “thank you”.
