Allocations Lost?

Do stealerships lose their allocations at the end of the month if they don't use it up thus losing potential profit?

What are you trying to get at?

Are you trying to negotiate w/ dealers towards the end of the month, assuming they have left over allocations?

Demand is chasing supply at this point, so I don't think they would have a problem using up their allocations.

Great point.

And "no" allocations are not lost, they just become in stock cars. We can order X cars per month, if they aren't all sold we get the rest of the cars as "stock"

Thanks for the info. Reason I asked because this Infiniti SA wanted so badly to sell me the car that he discounted a lot from msrp.
