Yes you're right, i was basing it on a 10000 selling price, minus 7500 cost for 2500 profit.

Even at 32. whatever percent markup, doesn't mean you can offer 50% off the asking and expect it to be a fair offer. Even if the dealer has a 50% markup, they still require to make a profit.

The important thing i'm trying to illustrate is to focus on is fair market value, don't focus on percentages as there is no rhyme or reason to how much a vehicle will ultimately cost the business.

Cheers
