Well than what about clothes? Why dont you mind paying huge markups on that? For the cost of the car as opposed to other items you buy I know percentage wise the car makes the least amount of money. Also the only reason why the delaerships survive is because of service. I know service needs sales but sales alone wont pay for the 14 million dollar dealership we just moved into. Service accounts for 85-90% of the income for the store. What I am saying is that people are too caught up in thinking they are getting ripped off everytime they buy a car when in actuality they get ripped off far more for everything else in they buy and dont even notice or care. Thats my point.
