Might as well go on because you dont know the least about car dealers mr know it all... how can you say that dealers make money from kick backs which by the way are called hold back... which is money that a dealer does not see for another 3 months after you purchase, which is there to reward dealers for volume sales and its not much mayb 1-2% the value of the car which most cases they give that money away to make a lot of deals... rebates are you kiding me thats a joke... dealers making money on rebates haha.... in case you havent read anything anywhere, that money goes strickly to customers.... undercar protection? another funny one.. for someone that shops as hard as you do you buying under car protection is lame and hypocritical... If everyone would to read all of this posts on this forums and base this info for buying cars dealers would simply say no and good luck to all...

What kind of profit do you think dealers make when you buy a car??

$200-500

You asked a question, and I gave you an answer. How does that make me a know-it-all? Did I claim to know all the ins-and-outs of being a car salesman? NO

You say $2-500 on a sale? You may be right about a single sale in a week's time....I'm in the wholesale business, and I know how that shi* works. One customer beats us down so much, that we barely make a profit on a sale. Another 2 walk in, and they have a higher price point. They pay and move on. We get volume and profit sales, and they both add up to make us a multi-billion dollar business.

On top of selling cars, you guys sell all the little things, as well as service (mentioned above). Do you get customers that haggle you down, or come in demanding the bottom dollar? Sure, but you also get people that either don't care, or are too stupid to read between the lines....THAT'S how you make money. Now is that better, or do you have some kind of snappy comeback for that too?

It sounds like you hate your job and should seriously consider a career change. You wouldn't be this angry for no apparent reason, and going back to your first post, it all makes ZERO sense. Trying to put a dollar value on AK's downtime as if he'd be working is completely insane, not to mention guesstimating what he earns in the first place. He obviously has a passion for this car, look at all the time he puts in on this website -- how can you criticize him for taking a tiny percentage of that time to make sure he's being smart with his money? Seriously, change careers, cus this is obviously the wrong one for you.

*picks the perfect time to make first post*
