They can sell below invoice because all dealers get 3% back after they sell the car. That's a minimum, then there are other incentives dealers get for hitting their quotas each month.

If they claim to be selling it below invoice, then they should be more than happy to show you the invoice. Don't let them use the term "invoice" to describe the window sticker (some dealers will try this) - - that is not the invoice. The true invoice will say "DaimlerChrysler Motor Company LLC Invoice" right at the top. Also if they are truly selling below invoice, then you should still get any rebate that may be in effect (I think it's $1000 now?) deducted from THAT price. some dealers will claim to be selling 'below invoice' but in reality they are selling the car for $800 over invoice, so that AFTER a $1000 manufacturers rebate the net amount is $200 below invoice.

Not to say that a price above invoice is not a fair deal; if it's somewhere between invoice and MSRP (like halfway) in my mind that's a fair deal. Just make sure they are honest with you.
