with 5k profit on car BMW supposed to pray for donation 24/7 .
Dont be fooled . Just imagine how much they spend on development and marketing .
If you guys divide MSRP price by 10 you will get real price to produce the car . (for example Dodge Gran Caravan cost 3200$ this price included part , labor , factory running expenses)
Back in Russia my brother in law was a dealer of MB and Volvo , they have 20% off from MSRP plus bonuses if they sell more than expected (ordered by sell plan )
So 5K could be profit from each car just by dealer .
Regarding POP DRINKS
I used to work with Coca Cola Russia , and they ordered caps and preforms from me , 2 litres bottle cost 2cents cap and 5 cents preform (smaller less , 2&3 cents ) plus Pop by itself 10cents , now figure out the PROFIT .
