I'm in the car business... went from sales, to fleet, to sales manager, and now Finance director...
Average profit from a new car... (excluding holdback, incentives, etc) just the gross profit salesman make... -$300 to $1200 ( $2000 is a homerun) All new cars have the same starting point - Factory invoice. We can all find that info on the internet...
Average profit from used: $1500 - $4500 used cars have different starting points... so you never know how much they're in it for. Two identical models, mileage, color, everything... and the cost can vary by thousands...
When you sell cars... you're taught first thing is... there's money in used...
Before I got into the car business... I thought all salesman were scum bags...
I still kind of do... alot of them are... but when you sell cars.. you meet a lot of scum bags as customers also... vice versa... tit for tat...
it's a vicious cycle... salesmen would be so shady if buers weren't so difficult... buyers wouldn't be so difficult if salesmen weren't so shady...
