Wow, $1200.00 per unit holdback? No Volvo made ran anything close to that back in 1999 when I was still working for a dealership scraping through college. In fact, we didn't even see anything remotely like $500.00 per car. Only the biggest dealerships who hit the 'volume targets' necessary to get a per car bonus, and there was only one large enough to do that East of the Mississippi at that time, got close to that per car if you combined holdback and per unit bonus.

I'm not saying this isn't on par for GM, but that just seems like a lot of holdback especially when near luxury brands don't run that kind of HB margin.
And of couse I realize that we had experienced inflation over the last decade, but that is literally several times above what we get back in the day. Hmmm, were we just getting the screws?
