Where do we get dealer's true cost (invoice?) for a Honda Accord or CRV?

 

Where can I get the dealer's true cost for a Honda Accord or CRV?

I went to Edmunds but they only have something called "true value", which
is not the dealer cost but what people (somehow told them they) paid.

I googled and found tons of car salesmen who would give me car quotes by
email if I gave them all my personal information.

But, I just anonymously want to find the dealer cost?

Does a website exist which will show us dealer cost?

It isnt possible in the ultimate, because the rebate a particular
dealer gets from the manufacturer varys considerably, particularly
with how they finance the cars they have on the floor etc.

But what's the closest we can get?

I am hoping to get closer than to 'value' pricing at Edmunds:

Is there a way to get factory invoice at least?

Not very close at all, essentially because factory invoice even if you
could get that isnt very useful at all, because its the rebate that matters.


They'd make it available if it was feasible.


It wouldnt be much use even if it was available.

I believe that "Consumer Reports" can provide that information, for a fee,
of course.  Also, you might want to haunt your local Barnes and Noble, in the
Transportation section; I seem to recall coming across various books that gave
the factory cost of most cars, along with the costs for their various options
and packages.  It's been several years, so I might be misrembering, but I
think Edmunds was among those putting out these pricing  books.  I don't
remember who the other publishers were, unfortunately.
