Hyundai’s have really stepped up in the last 5 years or so - and I’m sure you can find a lot of info, some of it maybe even accurate, pertaining to your search.

But my question is this: is it your “right” to know the mark up on purchases you make? Why is it necessary you know the supposed profit, as opposed to simply knowing the best price you can get? I am all for being a wise shopper, but I am not thinking “profit” made by a private business is really any of our business.

No one is forcing the car dealer to make public these numbers; & frankly, they are made up numbers, anyway. It is part of the marketing plan to allow buyers to “believe” they are paying not much over cost, when actually, the dealer is making a nice profit.

Just because the dealer tells you his “cost” doesn’t make it the truth.
