    With all the hidden programs behind the scenes, I'm not really sure what invoice is anymore....

    I'm looking at a #3 (HI) package

    Looking at Edmunds I see MSRP is $24,900
    Invoice is $21,039

    What others are paying is $23,733

    It does not show any cost for the options, just the $2105 markup on MSRP... how much is that option package getting marked up?

    So my questions:
    Where can I find true "invoice" inclusive of all options on a speicific package?
    Where can I get accurate info on Toyota dealer programs?
    I got a phone quote from the Costco fleet manager for "$500 over invoice" still trying to figure out what that means....

    Comments?

    Check out www.carbuyingtips.com. I don't know if the sites offering invoice data have modified their numbers for the "up to $2000 off" sales gimmick.

    Just checked out Edmunds. Looks like they are not up to speed on "new prices".
    This should be pretty close. Use "invoice price" of about 1500 for pkg#3-about 30% less than MSRP.
    You get about 22.6K for a #3. (21,039 + 1500)
    I bought two-pkg#2 at end of Feb. Used Edmunds invoice of 22K for both deals. Then I added the in dash 6 cd changer from Toyota around $630 additional.
    So it looks like you should get Pkg #3 for about the same as I paid for #2.
    Try that at some dealers and see what happens.
