- >> Oh, one more thing, $1700 in pure profit? What about overhead?

- I think the reference is to the fact that the Car Book, for one,
- shows that the typical markup from dealer cost to sticker for
- a Saturn is 17%. This is much higher than for other cars in
- the same size/price category, which average closer to 10% and under.
- Thus, the "no dicker sticker" rap serves the Saturn dealer quite well.
