Ha!  There's one born every minute.  Although I cannot help but imagine you 
already know this.  There is no such thing as "dealer cost".  The dealer 
never 
buys the car nor pays for it, he is only acting as agent.  There are 
dealerships here who in a frenzy of showmanship sell you the car for two 
hundred 
dollars UNDER dealer cost.  And they do it with documentation and a straight 
face.

During the zenith of the gas prices this summer there were local dealers 
selling $30,000 trucks for $12,000 off.  As you can imagine, they did NOT pay 
for 
those trucks, there was no dealer cost.
