New cars are expensive, but how much money do manufacturers make and who earns the most? This shows a study. Two brands even make losses.
Those who buy a new car pay attention to the price and try to get discounts from the car dealer. Sometimes the dealers go down with the price, sometimes they say that it is already the lowest price.
Ford only earns 47 euros per car
But how big is the margin really and how much do manufacturers make on each sold car? This is shown by a study by the Center Automotive Research (CAR) at the University of Duisburg-Essen, as the “Welt” reports. The newspaper has the results.
Ford earns the least with its cars – but only in Europe. According to the “world” Americans earn for each vehicle sold only 47 euros on average. In the home market, it looks much better for Ford. There, the manufacturer earns 1,977 euros per car. Worldwide, the average for Ford is 759 euros.
