=============================================
lets say 1000 cars a month on average sold = 208 mil a month in sales 2.5 bil a year in sales on base sticker price.


there are 2,700 workers, if payroll is average $75,000 per person including medical benefits that is only $203 mil per year on people expenses leaving about 2 bil in profits - even if half are paid in taxes and raw materials/energy - 1 bil left to roll around your mattress'

I dont think they even make 1000 cars a year, less 1000 cars a month.

I could be wrong...

The last number i could find was from 2009 where they sold a little under 4400 the entire year

4400 x 69% increase = 7436? iffy
