The dealer markup is unfortunately the norm right now. I just had to turn in a MB GLC300 off lease. I wasn't about to sign a new lease and get locked in to an absurdly high monthly cost, so decided to purchase. Shopped around at Audi, MB & Cadillac. All were advertising a $5k markup and when negotiating, the markup ended up being $2k.

I ended up finagling MSRP on another MB, but it was quite the hassle and we had to get creative. They charged me a $1500 markup on the new car, but since I had a lease I was turning in, they gave me $2k in equity on the lease, so I ended up paying $500 under MSRP. But that was a unique situation. If I went with Audi or Caddy, I'm confident I would've had to pay a markup.
