I will answer your question seriously:
~Service department
~Extended warranties
~Rebates (Manufacturer give rebates, but dealership does not always have to extend to customer)
~Financing
Dealers usually get the car for about 3-4% below invoice, more with rebates from manufacturer, but of course this is on the average car which is currently about 23-25,000USD. Not really sure on premium cars (40+) or super cheap (<15), but dealerships will on average make more than 200USD on a car, probably 650 or more.
Then again, with the market in its decline and everyone looking to cut corners, we could see some prices slashed in hopes to bring in buyers. Which would cut "profit" for the dealership greatly as they just try to move inventory.
