No worries, I just hate forum fighting so I try to avoid if possible lol.
You’re close on the invoice, it’s 6% below MSRP across the brand.
Honestly the milestone bonuses are above my pay grade, I know they exist, but I’m just in sales so I don’t get to see those numbers.
It’s also worth factoring in the client advisors commission, which at my store is 25% of front gross, so on a $90k car the front is $5,400, then after deducting commission the store makes $4,050.
Obviously it’s more complex than that, because the technician needs to get paid for the pre-delivery inspection, and detail needs to get paid for the delivery clean, etc.
Even ignoring the other departmental costs, personally I feel like a $4k profit on a $90k car is surprisingly low, but if the hypothetical deal in question includes buy-rate on the finance side then that’s really all that’s left over if not less.
