...and if the dealer kept the plate too, that has to be worth some more cash....

I don't understand the point of the post.
You seem genuinely excited that you have managed to work out a dealers margin.
People have to earn money.
Just performing a useful service to whoever might want to buy that car - they'll now know the margin and thus the starting point for their negotation over price. Simple as that really.... You seem genuinely excited that you have managed to work out a dealers margin.

The dealer has added value "We will supply this car newly serviced with x2 new rear tyres and warranty and RAC option"Plus comeback rather than with a private seller.
Whats the price of that!?

Depends on the warranty and service. If the former is a Maserati one and the latter performed by a main dealer, thousands of pounds. Plus comeback rather than with a private seller.
Whats the price of that!?
If the former is one of those "X & Y Extended Warranties" of the ilk I have sued over before, and if the latter is a wipe over with an oily rag by Bernie and Leepu under the arches in Bethnal Green, then to coin a phrase from the hursuite magician Paul Daniels - "not a lot".

Dealer's margin isn't really much considering he has to take into account the cost of capital tied up whilst trying to sell it.

instead of posting crap on here why didnt you buy the car like the dealer did putting his money down then selling it again instead of moaning on here about it
Where did I moan about, or who said I begrudged the dealer any profit made on the car? I simply passed comment, that's all. I don't know what made you think I wished to buy the car either 
eta Steven F, have I met you before? Do you/did you own a 512 TR by any chance? If so, then you are the same guy....
