Bad News: TrueCar is no longer displaying factory/dealer invoice pricing. This will make negotiating a bit more difficult, but not impossible.

Worst News: MBFS kept the residuals intact, but bumped the MF on many of their vehicles including the C-Class sedans. To add insult to injury, MB also changed the loyalty cash from $2000 to $1000. The C250 Coupe just got about $30 bucks more expensive (see calculation below).

Good News: TrueCar seems to have reinstated the Dealer/Factory Invoice pricing back into their website. WooHoo! Looks like I celebrated too early. It’s offline again…*sigh*

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.
