What's a typical invoice price difference?
My dealer is saying that his invoive on a 2004 EB 4X4 is $244 more than the invoice price on Edmunds.com and Car.com invoice price.
I know there are variouse fees in certain areas, but does that number sound about right or are they making some extra profit there?

I find Edmunds to be fairly accurate +/- about $250 either way.... if you are looking at an under $15,000 vehicle then the dealer may have something added in...
But with most of the $40K to $50K+ vehicles the % differences are not really significant and simply could be caused by differences in configuration of option codes and real time price changes. Edmunds is not always up to date on option codes and pricing.... ARRG and usually, neither is Ford!

Edmund's probably doesn't have the FDAF (ad fund) or Ford fuel charges figured in, as where those are included in CarsDirect.com pricing. That's what makes CarsDirect more accurate than the rest.

Thanks again.
