You will never know what a dealer paid for the car. As stated iin the previous post, the dealer could have "stole" it. Prices to vary by region. I would look at EBAY to see what a car sold for, not what the asking is. Ideally, if you could, get a list of sell prices at closed auctions. Condition, equipment, miles, make, model determine a wholesale price.

Just remember: there are (3) prices on anything: asking, liking and sell price.
