Well, the dealers don't get that profit, the manufacturers do. And they don't make any profit on some cars - the MSRP for the Prius hybrid is something like $5000 LESS than they cost to build. The manufacturers make up for this loss with highly profitable SUVs. John Davies |

The window sticker that was on it was for $32,000 CDN MSRP. We paid $24,000 through GE Fleet/Capital. The dealer said they onl make $150 on each vehicle they sell that goes through GE fleet. I don't know if this is a standard markup but I'm sure the average Joe couldn't get that truck for the $24,000. Mort |
