Compared to Buicks of the past, the 2011 LaCrosse has both style and attitude, with a curvy, bold look and advanced interior design. Ride, handling and overall refinement are now up to world-class standard. And from behind the wheel, the LaCrosse now stands on the same ground, in terms of features and the driving experience, as many luxury-brand cars, yet it costs thousands less. CX models start well below $30,000, but CXS models loaded to the brim with tech features land above the $40k mark.

What is Factory Invoice?
This is what the manufacturer theoretically charges the dealer for the vehicle. While this price includes manufacture costs, such as regional ad fees, it does not include discounts, incentives, or holdbacks (money allocated back to the dealer upon sale). These considerations make the dealer’s actual cost lower than the Factory Invoice.
What is Dealer Cost?
This is the aforementioned Factory Invoice, but with the holdback taken out. This is essentially what the cost is to the dealer since he will be given the holdback money in the future.
