The dealer invoice cost is the same to all dealers. Fleet buyers can acquire vehicles at, near, or under the dealer invoice cost. The exact amount will vary depending on the specific dealer and car because dealerships are independent companies. How the purchase is made (ie: order-out, stock purchase, or dropship) dictates the actual purchase price. Lessor "markups" generally reflect the lessor policy rather than the actual purchase price.

Fleet Services can purchase cars as economically as any leasing company. Often the best cars do not always have the lowest beginning cost. In order to assure the best price is procured for our customer, Fleet Services will price out the selected vehicle and equipment down to a cost of factory invoice minus any fleet incentives, national and local advertising credits, special incentives, package discounts, amenity deletes, dealer hold back, floor plan assistance and any other reductions in cost that are then available (or could possibly be offered by the manufacturers), plus any dealership markups. FSI will add NO markups to the cost basis of the vehicle. This is the TRUE COST of a vehicle, and the place where we start the structure of our base lease rates.

FSI will assist its customers in determining what vehicles should appear on their Vehicle Selector List that will provide the highest level of serviceability at the lowest NET cost. We will recommend a lease term that best reflects your driver's historical mileage and territory, as well as the time of the year to take delivery of a new vehicle and terminate the old one. In other words we truly assist the company fleet managers in MANAGING their fleets, balancing circumstances for the lowest possible cost at the highest possible value.
