As a retired new car dealer, I can assure you that it would be extremely rare for some part-time dealership gopher to actually have a clue as to what the dealer is paying for product. He might well think he does. I can assure you very few people working for me did and none of them were part-time lot boys.
True this;
My wife was the company comptroller for a Skyline rv/mobilehome dealer some years ago.
No one but the dealer owner or his ceo knew how much monies the dealer had to give the trailer mfg for a certain line. Not even the wife knew this number.
And not every dealer got the same price. Generally... dealers with higher sales got the better mfg prices over mom and pop that sold 4-5 units a month.
I always check dealers price for a certain unit in a 200-300 mile area around me. This gives me a good idea what I'll have to give for that unit.
