I do agree it's a naive assessment to think a dealer is happy they didn't make the sale because they will get another customer. If they sell all the on site stock, they will order more and the manufacturer will likely give them kickbacks for moving a lot of product.
Of course there is a bottom line they need to make a profit but no dealer wants customers walking away if they can make a profit that's naive thinking.
The point is no one at any dealership will be anguishing just because you didn't get the offer you wanted and walked away. Just because that unit you walked away from is still there sitting on the lot weeks later means little as eventually it will sell and it will sell for whatever the dealer needs to get out of it to fit his own particular business plan. To believe otherwise is what is naive - count on it, dealers aren't shaking in their boots because some here can't help but whine about how hard done by they've been when trying to negotiate a deal. It's business according to tried & true practices, that's all - no more, no less - and no amount of whining here on the forums is going to change it. :R
