if you were privvy to the cost to seller, you might've gotten an even better deal.

please dont mistake me - i never ever ever claim that the cost is the only factor. many other important factors exist, such as those you've just mentioned.
Have to agree to disagree on that one, if you knew the dealers cost on the car, what would you use as a benchmark to determine an acceptable margin to the dealer? To answer that would require you to have intimate knowledge of the costs involved in running a dealership, information that I doubt you would have. Also ignores the number one rule of price determination.......the law of supply and demand.
