From the vehicles I looked at, if the MSRP is $26,000 then the employee price will be $24,000 (give or take a couple hundred)
As I mentioned in the previous post, I have no idea if you are allowed to take rebates and incentives when you take the employee discount. Nothing I read said anything about that.
I don't know what you are looking at or where you get your info, but that's nowhere near the numbers that I'm used to dealing with. A few cars have 8% markup from cost to MSRP. most are between 10 to 15% and few more have 20 to 25%.
No car that I know of that stickers at $26K only has $2000 in markup. And then the employee pricing goes down from there.
