It's an interesting read for those looking at buying a car as well as those of us in the business. All us car salespeople/managers know the customers think we make a lot more money than we actually do, but this article actually quantifies it.
Might be a good one to share to Carbuying, for those who have authorship.

Which is why it never ever works to close a deal by telling a customer that you are losing money on a car. Though it happens frequently, customers don't believe us when we say it because, frankly, they give us more credit than that.
Also, people generally don't understand that the gross on a car deal is not all profit. You don't actually make a profit until all the bills are paid. And oh boy are there bills!

I've found it also rarely works to show them the invoice. Then we just get accused of making a fake invoice.
