Why can you buy a car at dealer Invoice but audio


Equipment you have to pay retail and if the dealers in a decent mood he might give you 10-15% off.

Here in Phoenix, all the most aggressive car dealers will lease or sell you a car at a great rate/price.
And when it comes time to sign the papers, they'll charge you a $395.00 documentation fee.
That equals 4 months of the "unbelievable" $99.00 lease.
Seriously Taters? You've been an Audiogon member for over 10 years and you can't find a dealer who will give you more than 10-15% off of list???
Huh.....they must all be after me. ;)
My audio dealer gave me a very nice markdown from retail on my monoblocs. Of course, his highly recommended undercoating treatment made up for it!
Taters,

Just keep in mind for Hi-End equipment the dealer paid 60% of MSRP plus shipping cost.

10% to 15% off on a single item ain't bad.

If the dealer is lucky he might make 5% to 10% after paying himself, or an employee, a wage plus other overhead costs.

If he gives you 20% off MSRP what does that leave him?

Now if you are buying a system then the dealer has more wiggle room.
