I was a biller for car dealerships & in the business for 20 years. A dealership NEVER loses money and in fact they make money that the public isn't even aware of with rebates, hold-back money, reconditioning fees, etc: The banks that fund the deals give some hefty prizes and all of the packages such as GAP insurance & extended warranties make plenty of money for dealerships. One place I worked for sold something called a "desert package" which was supposed to be extra protection for the vehicle in "hot" climates. This was a dealership joke because NOTHING EXTRA was ever done to the cars whatsoever. Your article is spot on.
