Truck and heavy duty dealerships are the complete opposite. Nearly all the dealership money is made on the service and parts buisness because most is not warranty and the labor and parts are usually expensive.
I grew up in car dealerships and can tell you for a fact that your numbers are WAAAAYYY off.

$4k per deal...
