they’re definitely making less margin and there are plenty of loss lead situations or outside pressures in the short term
you can see what the car was selling for prior months so I’m not sure how much you think it could be increased without it being obvious? (steam sales come to mind)
better argument would be how much they think they’d lose not selling current inventory and what you could potentially haggle the price down to vs you don’t for this deal but that’s insider info I would not have
and I did haggle that some as well anyway
beyond that, if i was that price sensitive, i would not be buying new
but i’ve seen so many people chase a better deal into future problems
