Why can you buy a car at dealer Invoice but audio

It is also important to recognizr that dealer invoice is not dealer cost. The manufacturer can and does routinely hold back an amount that is then given back to the dealer provided several key data points are adhered to. These can be satisfaction surveys, sales volumes, captive financing, etc. these amounts can exceed $1,000 per unit. Service and used cars are where the money is made. I have several friends who own multiple car dealerships. As long as you manage your money properly and avoid utilizing too much debt, it is a license to print money. One friends dealerships averages 40 cars per day....run those numbers.

If you only sold 10 cars a year , you'd starve to death.
If you sell 10 prs of speakers a year on which you clear 30k each, you're dining at a nice French eatery. In Paris.

Here in Phoenix, all the most aggressive car dealers will lease or sell you a car at a great rate/price.
And when it comes time to sign the papers, they'll charge you a $395.00 documentation fee.
That equals 4 months of the "unbelievable" $99.00 lease.

Seriously Taters? You've been an Audiogon member for over 10 years and you can't find a dealer who will give you more than 10-15% off of list???
Huh.....they must all be after me. ;)

My audio dealer gave me a very nice markdown from retail on my monoblocs. Of course, his highly recommended undercoating treatment made up for it!
