An invoice price for cars in Canada is the cost of a car before additional fees and taxes. For instance, a car with an invoice price of $30,000 may cost $35,000 after factoring in a $2,000 destination charge, a $1,500 air conditioning tax, and $1,500 freight charge.
Knowing the invoice price is important for negotiating a fair price on a new car. It also provides a benchmark for comparing prices between different dealerships. In 2021, the average invoice price for a new car in Canada was $34,118.
