I'd expect a business to make at least 25% gross profit on an inventory item

As much as they can. It's not their fault if you don't care enough to be informed as to you buying decision. If you don't talk to several dealerships, you are a fool.

frick that. That's one-off engineered product margins.

For just passing a vehicle through inventory, like 3% is good.

It's why they don't like you to pay in cash.

It really just depends on how expensive it is.

You're probably about half too high for something over 50k...about 12-13%

Yeah.

How can you all be so gullible?

No, no, no, no. No, this is different, Frank. This is different. Tell him.

This a-hole tried to sell us one week. We took the prick for three."
