Typically a dealer will aim to make around $10%-15% on a Used Car.  However, this of course can vary depending on the specific price of the vehicle, with cheaper vehicles making smaller profits, and more expensive vehicles earning far more.  When all that is said and done you then have other potential revenue opportunities with financing, warranties, and other add on products.

The additional income earners can be so profitable that some dealers actually sell cars at prices closer to cost so that they can focus on maximizing profits on the add ons.

You might actually be surprised to find out that although cars are generally still cheaper at the dealer auctions, there are many cases in which cars are actually being sold at close to retail.
