Why should the dealers give you their invoices? You're not buying a car from a dealer who sells 100 cars a week and has room to deal.

I am interested in purchasing a Silvercrest Manor Estate. I wonder if you, or anyone else knows how much the baseline cost per square foot would be?

I know this is an older post but I'm wondering if you got an answer and if anyone could share. This is a little off topic but I'm in ca as well (so cal) and I'm trying to find another so cal resident here who has purchased land. I am trying to find out if it's possible to do in my region without spending a million dollars on a plot of land

Manufactured homes aren't priced like that. If you were buying a site built home, you wouldn't ask the general contractor to see all her expenses for building the home and then expect to pay 10% or whatever, over his cost. Sometimes realtors look at sq ft of a home, especially in CA, to help them price a home, but that's usually in an area where the only comps are are bigger or smaller than the home they're trying to sell.in order to get some idea of what to list it for.

Though it has been done, there is very little negotiating room in the price of a MH. That's not to say you shouldn't try it, rather I'm saying be aware that it's not easy. Like everything else, the price of a MH is set by what the market will bear.

Good luck! :-)
