@Scubaz66 shared: "Dealer Hold Back is an amount manufacturer returns to a dealer after the auto has been sold. If I recall these are Factory Incentives to encourage the dealer to sell as many autos as possible. Dealer Hold Back on my $60K RAM Big Horn was approximately $1750.00. Therefore if the dealer sold you the vehicle for Dealer Invoice they still make $1750 on the sale. Not bad for a few hours of work."
Think of dealer hold back (my understanding) as what the dealer gets from the manufacturer once they sell the vehicle. If they sell at invoice, they are still getting the hold-back.
By my limited math skills using fingers and toes: That explains how MD is doing so well and making
bank! They sold 500+ vehicles last month, and using just your $1,750 dealer kick back, they are still grossing $875,000 for the month! Awesome business model!!!
