ANY business that is involved in sales will buy an item (unit) for less than they sell it for.

How else do they pay their employees?

As with anything, it's up to the consumer to be knowledgeable and vigilant.

Making a profit is not immoral, I think the issue with dealers is how some treat customers. This can be controlled by the buyer. The dealer is not putting a gun to the customer's head.

Don't like the treatment, walk away.
