There is no dealer profit margin from new vehicles. Its commercial sales, all about numbers hence discounts.
I repeat, no profit from the sale.
And for resale value, who cares, unless you want to sell it, if you do, don't buy it.
Very intriguing - and definitive - comments.
I shall eschew comment on the resale part of your post. That is more in the nature of wise - or unwise - advice that is non factual.
I am more intrigued by your statement that there is no dealer profit margin at all on the VW California because they are commercial vans. Now that is very definitive but you have not provided the explanation.
Are you saying that dealers get a set amount for each unit of van sold? If so, is it VW that pockets the difference? Say exact same van was sold by 2 different dealers at 53,000 and 56,000 respectively. Who pockets the 3,000 difference? VW? In this case to increase turnover would not all VW dealers want to lower the price to the minimum to increase their chances of a sale?
I suspect you have an understanding - or motivation- that I do not have. Your comment also explains why many dealers would be keen to sell any van rather than a Cali. But it also sits ill with other explanations etc.
If you would explain it, I shall learn something and be much the wiser.
PS: On the resale bit of your comment, I have never bought a car or house where I did not think of resale value even if planning on keeping it. I suppose many are similar to me in this regard. So unless a dismissive or facetious remark there are reasons why some may thinj of resale values.
