most used cars get marked up to $**,995....so, depending on what the actual cost is, there can be somewhere between 2,000 and 3500 mark up. that's the norm...sometimes, we get a car really cheap, and we price it at market value, which may create more than the above profit. sometimes, you stretch on a trade to make a deal, and the mark up is considerably lower....our average gross profit on a used car is around 1800/copy.
