Well, the dealers don't get that profit, the manufacturers do. And
they don't make any profit on some cars - the MSRP for the Prius
hybrid is something like $5000 LESS than they cost to build. The
manufacturers make up for this loss with highly profitable SUVs.

About a month ago we got a new truck at work. 2005 Ram SLT. The window
sticker that was on it was for $32,000 CDN MSRP. We paid $24,000
through GE Fleet/Capital. The dealer said they onl make $150 on each
vehicle they sell that goes through GE fleet. I don't know if this is a
standard markup but I'm sure the average Joe couldn't get that truck for
the $24,000.
