Many dealers are paying what used to be normal retail so that they can have something on their shelves.
It is truly feast or famine in this business. Usually famine.

Same with Toyota 4x4's, many of the used one's at the dealer are priced higher than the MSRP for a new one on the Toyota website. Word on the street is new ones start at $2500 over MSRP and go up from there if they can find one.
