Generous?
I don't care if they lose money. You can believe they are not feeling generous towards the consumer.
Absolutely not. You should hear the way the customer is talked about behind the scene in most businesses.
But, that dealer has himself and a lot of employees to also worry about. A business can't stay open at the margins that you stated. That's why they play hide the ball with you and bust the frick out of sweet granny's arse when she comes to get her Grand Caravan.

Obviously my profession is in my username. My dealership has 6 of 13 salespeople that has graduated college, two of the other are former athletes and two of the others are former marines. There is great money to be made and for the most part they are good people. Yes every lot has a douchebags or two that ruin the name for most but at the end of the day they are normal people with normal lives. I've bought several cars before working for Ford and I went in and said what I wanted, they pulled it up or we walked to it and drove it, I liked it and bought the Damn thing for a good price. You see the value, you pay the value.

I am an I.T. administrator for an Automotive Group of 15 new car dealerships and an RV store. I eavesdrop a lot. My brother sales cars for one of the dealerships and has been the top salesman company wide most months.
There is a salesman/management shuffle in every city. There are a lot of slime balls in the business. If you can turn cars (sales) or good numbers and percentages (F&I) you can get away with murder.
Profit can be slim. The difference in an invoice amount and MSRP is generally under $1500. Incentives and manufacturer cash is where a lot of money comes from.
They will go down to making nothing if they need to sell a car. They will break it off in your arse if you take the first pencil.
