[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 15266462, member: 138337"] Invoices won't be on any 3rd party sites. You can request the invoice from a dealer; if they won't give it to you, PM me the VIN and I can send it to you. As far as bargaining power, dealers are typically below invoice anyways, so I'm not sure how you could use it to bargain. Depends on the kick backs. The most I have ever seen personally at my store was $20k, but most of the time it's around $10k. Some manufacturers kick out a lot more money than others. Our goals are 120% of the previous year's same month + X% of forecast increased sales in the area. HD truck stores are in the 90-110% service absorption, car and light duty truck stores are typically in the 60-70% range. I wish our service could get to 100% absorbed, that'd be amazing. Depends on the vehicle. Ford, for example, phases in vehicles throughout the year at different times. So buying a new F-150 makes sense in the fall, but buying a new Flex would make more sense the following spring (F-150's are released before Flex's). [/QUOTE]
