what is reasonable profit for the dealer
Is it a percentage of the price or a fixed amount? If I can find out what a dealer has paid for the unit, how much above that is fair?

Thank you all for the replies. I am doing my research, and this is part of it. My question stems from the fact that, after I did my research on a particular model, I made an offer, and was pretty much shown the door. No counter offer, no haggle, very much unlike any negotiating I had done for a car or truck.
Since there is no "consumer reports" service available that I am aware of, I just wondered if there was some protocol that I violated in my negotiating. I know the dealer has to make some profit, but it's my money, and I'm kinda attached to it.
I believe it's the dealers way of telling you that they don't think enough of your offer to waste there time negotiating any further.
