Same applies today, service and parts is way more profit but you need to shift dead woood from the lot still.
Dealerships worked in 1/4s,best time to buy a new car/truck whatever was to front up on the last day of a 1/4 and get tough with the price,units out the door was everything to the point of as i said earlier they would take a loss in order to do so.Fwiw (dunno if its the same these days) the really easy money from a salesmans point of view was when the leased cars turned over and came back to the dealership ie rental car companys etc,2 years old average around 50k and a year of new car warranty left priced to sell,money for jam.
