The dealers I have spoken to here in the Phoenix, AZ area have told me that Nissan has told them they are allowed a maximum of k markup, or they risk losing any further allotment.

Must have been a Nissan recruiter or a research vehicle.

mark-up to the cost of the vehicle would NOT look that good.
