I've always wondered if they had their own forum or organization where they team up to "beat" the customer. For example, they all agree to set a minimum mark up - this could be a locality thing or specific vehicle, or whatever. Another example would be a customer states they have a better deal at dealership x. So, dealership y calls x and they do some internal business to make sure the price doesn't get any lower and offer a potential kickback.
Maybe I'm crazy.
