Edmunds and kbb.com list everyone's holdback, even if it's zero. And while I agree that Saab needs profitable dealers, hiding numbers isn't the way, not in the internet information age. It's OK for the world to know there's a holdback, and it's OK for a buyer to try and get some of it. It's also OK for a dealer to say no way, no deal. Each party has the right to walk away at any time short of a fully signed agreement.
Perhaps more realistic pricing is the answer. Instead of constantly offering ridiculous incentives and interest rates, price the cars closer to what the marketplace says they are worth and don't get into the deep-discount business. IMHO.
