This tells me if they can take a cut like this, they are still making money and are bending over the consumers


The great American experience of buying a car. You are told you are getting a great deal, yet you feeled screwed.

16k likely has the dealer taking a loss on that particular sale

ETA: I am a CPA. I once had auto dealers as clients. People are pretty much clueless about the car profit/loss process. It’s not all that uncommon for them to take a “loss” on individual sales. Sometimes that hits certain incentive bonuses from the manufacturer, sometimes it’s to balance inventory, etc etc
