HOW TO CALCULATE APPROX. TRUE DEALER COST

*Dealer Costs Formula:

·         Invoice Price - Holdback - Rebates & Incentives (If any)= Dealer Cost

·         Take the Invoice price and subtract the holdback. (Percentages below)

·         Take this amount and subtract any manufacturer rebates.

·         To get the rebates simply fill in a price quote from one of the recommended services listed - you will receive the rebate you are entitled to in your area. (If Any)

*Holdback Calculations:

·         If a % of "Total" MSRP or Invoice makes sure you add all the manufacturers options to the price when calculating holdback

·         If a % of "Base" MSRP or Invoice, calculate hold back on the Base price before you add the options
