True Dealer Cost is very confidential and one can only see in the accounting books of an auto dealership. Because you would have to take into consideration many other factors such as financing leverage, how many cars sell, how many are ordered, etc.

Nobody can obtain the 'true' dealer cost..not even the sales employees.
