A lot of people don't realize that true dealer cost, and dealer invoice
are two entirely different things. $500 over dealer cost is invariably
still well under invoice, is a pretty fair price to pay. Of course a
dealer can't survive if everyone paid $500 over dealer cost, but
fortunately there are enough people paying invoice or more to make up
for those people that pay less.
