Hi, curious to hear what everyone feels that at suggested retail what % of margin dealers sell at 8,9 10 % or more.

No one pays suggested retail of course. Just curious........

10000% mark up.

i don't really know but I do know cosmetics especially the high end brands are very profitable with their margins, 200-400%.

if it was true that what was shown to me when I bought mine, then the dealeres don't really have a big markup on the car. i think it depends on the kind of car you're buying. if it's a luxury vehicle, MAYBE there's a higher markup. can't remember the exact figure but i'll say it's not more than 10%.

on a $25,000 price tag average I would guess is $1,500-$2,500. Now where they make their money is warranty and accessories/options.

I could be wrong but that is what I had going on my speed ;)
