Consumers should understand that manufacturers DO NOT officially provide invoice cost information to anyone. And since there are no officially authorized sources for invoice pricing information, AUTOPEDIA® provides access to pricing information from over 50 sources as well as links to all manufacturer internet sites. Consumers will also find discrepencies between the sources, with each source providing slightly different versions of the same information. There are also differences in the overall amount of data provided and how that data is structured, with some sites being downright confusing.
