re: Can you "deal" with a used car price?

$200 front gross?
What was holdback on the 0% deal? What is your pack on a new unit? Is the $200 profit after you factor in those numbers or was that just the front gross numbers? I would guarantee that the dealership didnt only make $200 on the deal. What was made in the back?
I can find you a lot of examples where a dealership did not make a lot of profit on a deal, but it was not for lack of trying. Generally, these low profit deals occur because a bank cuts the deal back to nothing, the customer doesn't let the dealership make a bunch of money, etc.
Again, i am not against a business making money; my family has been in the car business for years and years. My issue is with the practices used to make the money. You can't legitimately argue that dirty tactics aren't used to "get" the customer.
