Industry standard minimum fair profit is 3-5% over invoice. Just like a waitress is expected to make 15-20% on tips, if you pay invoice on a car, the salesman gets zero. The sales manager gets zero. Holdback is minimal profit saved for the dealership to help with operating costs.
The guy who fights to pay the least for a car isn't a hero or the macho man. Be educated and fight for a fair price. Paying less is like giving a good waitress a 5 or 10% tip...even more painful to the salesperson, since they sell so few units - especially Saab salespeople.
