Buying a new truck

I have heard that there is a web site that someone can go to to find out what a dealer paid for a particular vehicle, by using the vehicle's VIN number. I also heard this briefly of a 20-20 clip when they were chasing down cooked car dealers. I know that salesmen need to make a living, and expect to pay a decent portion over that invoice, but I don't want to get gouged. I also saw what a particular dealer "called" an invoice, but it was just something that they had typed up to make it look like I was getting a deal. I called them on it, and they refused to show me the real invoce so I left.



Any truth to this website?



Thanks

has a way you can build a vehicle. Gives you 3 prices. MSRP, what the sticker would say. Invoice, the "invoice" price. TMV, or True Market Value, the average price people are paying for a vehicle with those options. Also breaks the listing down to show the cost for the added options...

Edmunds works if you are doing the basic configs. Won't do squat for the

2500HD, etc.. I tried it back when looking for new trucks.
