Holdback is a necessary part of the game. Every car company does it, and has for 75 years. It was designed as dealer assistance, not for negotiating. It is called holdback for a reason. A dealer should be straight forward with incentives and pricing, but hold back, frankly, is none of the customer's business. Unless, of course, they would rather pay for my floorplan expense, if this is the case, then, sure, they can have all of my holdback. If the manufacturer were to put a salesman's bonus on volume, should the customer know about it, too? Where does it stop? I'll tell you what, I'll show my holdback, if the customer shows me a list and amount of all of his fixed assets, liquid assets, and receivables; and I want you to be honest now, and, not hold anything back.
Cheers,
Brian.
