Dealer question?

[bigdavy]

I'm on the brink of ordering a new car and want to include an options pack. There is around £50 between the basic price & the rrp of the pack. Is this the dealer cut? If not does the dealer get anything if I order an options pack?

FWIW brand is Skoda and its a convenience pack inc cruise & parking sensors.

Its a real tight deal and i'm just looking for as much info as I can to help negotiations.

If you're looking at a price list the difference between the basic price and the rrp is usually the VAT.

What Roo says.

The dealer won't make a fortune out of options, maybe 10% of the base price of it. So if it's £250 + vat for the option then the dealer might only make £25 extra profit out of you ordering it. In the grand scheme of things they won't get much more profit to play with

Ahh, forgot about the vat. So by saying i'll have the options pack won't help my deal by much?

[Roo]

Very little as they will only be on their percentage of margin of its cost.

As FB said they will probably only making ten per cent.

Okay thanks guys I appreciate the help

from what i have been told its the manufacturers that make good profit on the optional extras and dealers only make a tiny margin
