I found it on the web. Note that it is a march 2006 doc. Yes they do make money on accessories. You can evaluate how good the deal is by looking at these numbers and the prices for the same items on http://mercedes.autowebaccessories.c...at909_1932.php who have many of the same items. I used these prices and this PDF to negotiate with my dealer who matched Autoweb.
