In many, if not most cases, the invoice price is not what the dealer pays for the vehicle since there are holdbacks. Also dealers receive bonuses for various sales levels so when they are close they can actually sell a vehicle for less than it costs them (ignoring what they can also make on fees) since it will result in a bonus to make up for that loss.
