it's small, closed minded thinking like yours that is the problem with so many things In This great country.. You as a dealer are SO lucky that it's hard to import a car here, or your bullshit would go down the drains like it did for all the ripoffs in the elctronics industry, where more and more people are buying from over seas.
If you knew shit about profit you would know that lasting long term profit is made from
many sales, not huge markups from single sales. You get real of you think people will keep paying for something that isnt worth it for years to come

Ok lets clear some things up.
Dollar is much stronger than years ago, are cars significantly cheaper? No
Can you bring in new cars in the same way as you can grey import electronics? Not a chance in hell
Are we getting ripped off by importers and local car makers? Yes
I'm just raising some simple points that you clearly have difficulty understanding. Apparently this makes me a car dealer.
If Toyota wanted every last person with a 323 Astina to own a new 86, they wouldn't be targeting this car to people with a 150k household income. Maybe consider something like a Mazda 3, might be within your budget.
