Sure they can and most dealers make the money off of used cars and
service anywa plus they get hidden factory insentives on sales as I
have a freind that is in GM fleet sales at a dealer and he told me
that when they are pushing cars at low prices to move them, GM gives
them money for doing it to maintain profit for them. I have not paided
over 500 bucks over true dealer cost (minus hidden kick backs) for
over 25 years now and I have bought 7 new vehicles in that time frame
too. If you feel sorry for them and want to bank roll them have at it
but not me.
