average gross profit on a new car is between $200-$500 bucks.....however, at Saturn, who touts their no pressure, haggle free customer service oriented sales practices, the average gross approaches $800 per copy. You get what you pay for.....
used cars is another story, though..... as there is no "invoice" and no identical car to comparison shop against. your best bet is to know someone. like on sienfield....you gotta get the"inside" deal.
kbb.com and edmunds.com have accurate pricing on new cars for free. you must allow, however, for the local advertising group charges that dealers have to pay......(they are itemized on the invoice)
i could give yards of advice about how to get a god deal, but it's a tired subject for me, and people seldom follow the "car" advice that their friends/relatives try to force on them.
what i find interesting is the amount of peer pressure that we put on each other when we buy a car.
" hey, is that a new car? did you get a good deal?"
