I was confused about this too. The explanation I got is that when you have multiple dealers in the same market, they essentially compete with each other and drive down the average sale price for the same vehicle. That makes sense, but what I'm still not clear on is how that affects GM. They sell the car for $X to the dealership, and whether the dealership sells for little profit or significant profit, what's the difference to GM?
