You should give your dealer extra money for your next new car since you care so much about their profits lol.
I am a consumer I am in it FOR ME.


This is high school level economics. You set a price for your product. If sales are high, you either maintain that price or raise it to make a larger profit. If sales are low, your only option is to lower the price somehow to build sales volume. It's not a matter of "giving customers a better deal," the better deal should already have been reflected in the initial pricing by offering a better product than your competitors for around the same price. If you have to offer incentives to move product then consumers obviously found a better value elsewhere.

You're fighting a losing battle on this. Ask anybody in the industry and they'll tell you that high incentives = problems.
