What is the average dealer mark up? +1 rwisem. Car dealerships make money on service and trade ins. The profit margin on a new car is low. I would think in high end audio that they would need to have a 100% markup just to make overhead and have some bargaining power with the buyer. ... | |

Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Anything by the stooges, dire straights, Pink Floyd, the rolling stones( older stuff, nothing newer than tattoo you). The clash, big star, the police. Just a few that come to mind. | |
