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
