The TMV tool for **New** cars will show you the Invoice (Price the dealer pays for the vehicle), MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price), and the TMV. We believe a fair deal is a sales price equal to Edmunds TMV, or lower.
You can access the TMV build and price tool [here](http://www.edmunds.com/tmv.html).
There is not a set percentage you should expect a dealer to discount a vehicle. The average selling price is the best data to use and is very helpful at securing a fair deal.
You will also want to make sure the dealer is being fair and honest when it comes to the fees of the vehicle. Fees such as local tax, registration fees, and documentation fees are non-negotiable.

Thanks!
