I agree the concept of profit is very American and irrelevant to this discussion. Our economic way of life is based upon healthy businesses. It is a shame the way some industries operate in the name of profit.

Read the thread about the Doctor who sold the 190SL for $10,000 to a member. I would love to compare names and opinions thread to thread......

The dealer did play a part here but to me this was a question of systemic behavior and how we need to adapt or we are operating at a disadvantage. ND might have behaved in a manner that many find less than honorable but IMO He behaved as he should have given the way the system (car sales) operates.
