There is no way in hell a dealer would ever sell for invoice if they didn't make money. Don't work for dealerships so I really don't know but, my guess would be that it would be bad for buisness. What the other guy said is more as to what I was trying to get at but didn't add to what I said and that is the rebates you get that drop the car down to invoice pricing still gives the dealer a couple grand profit. So I should have added that into what I said and explained that as the reason as to why I said the dealer still makes his 2 grand when he sells a car at invoice my bad.
Seeing as how I myself am a dealer. NOw if you are talking the holdback.. Holdback on a Camaro is only like 800 or so dollars, and guess what the Salesman doesnt make any money off that. And just sold a IOM SS/RS and guess what MArk-up was $1,665. What you fail to realize is that the dealerships make their money of CSI. But I'm tired of these conversations.
Theres an old saying that some people should take advice from..
