You can just say no. The profitability of the dealership is none of my concern, the deal I get on my car is. For what it’s worth I bought my 22 under MSP from a decent independent dealership (not part of a chain)
Bear in mind, the service departments are always more lucrative than the new car division, dealers still have a high margin on the used cars they do/can sell and they do profit from the back end of in house finance as well as extras sold within the finance office. Domestic dealerships typically have a much healthier margin than imports on most new models plus destination and documentation fees.
These places are very well structured money making machines, I wouldn’t be shedding too many tears. The only people that really suffer here are the salesman or person(s) paying over the odds for what they get.
I have worked in the trade so do have some understanding on this.
