James, car dealerships are closing around the country because they cannot
finance enventory. There is '"dealer cost", though you will never get it
from the dealer.

Dealerships are not simply a sales agaent for the manufacturor, most deakers
handle many different makes and brands, today. 'Consumer Reports' is the best
source, I found for 'exact' dealer cost, bit there are other sources
