Now I get it, sorry, that was dumb of me.

I have NOT seen the data that you are looking for. If it were me, I would use the markup on the base car and apply it to the options. On balance, I suspect you will be close to what the dealer cost turns out to be.

In the end, this method may or may not be instructive. The price you pay MAY be related to market pricing more than to dealer costs.

In my experience, using multiple dealers to souce your car yields the best price, ie, try to get a bidding war going for your business.
