- I thought everyone was aware of the "dealer invoice" con - sure the dealer
- pays the vendor that amount, but the vendor then turns around and pays the
- dealer a fee for selling the car... the dealer could sell at "invoice + 0"
- and still make a handsome profit... anything they get above "invoice" is
- additional gravy. Ever wonder how they sometimes sell "at invoice", or even
- "below invoice" and still stay in business? My favorite line item on a
- "dealer invoice" was one that read "Additional Dealer Markup"... jeeze....

- no, "scrupulous dealers" would be an oxymoron, as in "military intelligence".
- What you have here is a case of redundantly repetitive redundancy.
