I do know that printers and shaving gizmos are sold right at or even a bit below their prime cost and all the money are made on the aftermarket sales. I own C900 '93 and gonna keep it till it runs. And I do buy Saab brand new parts (whenever I can find them and if they have a fair price tag). Saab (or GM?) has made about $2K on me for those 4 years that I've been owning C900.
Also reading some greasy monkey's blogs I can say for sure that most of the shops (unfortunately) do make money on the parts, not the labor. And all this gives be a hint that (at least) some car makers can be making significant part of their profit not on car sales, but on the parts sales.
