It happens everyday. For the most part, the incentives are not advertised. I would suspect that a lot of people, especially in smaller marketplaces that don't receive a great deal of marketing exposure, and/or competition from other Saab dealers, pay the incentive amounts while the dealer shows massive gross profit per unit. It's not uncommon, and not forbidden by any means. If the customer will allow the dealer to make more money, then, of course, the dealer will always try to make the most that he can. We do have to remember that the dealer needs to make a profit to survive. With this in mind, it is certainly the consumers responsibility to educate himself on what incentives are available. It always pays to be a smart shopper.
Cheers,
Brian.
