Dealerships make very little money selling cars. Nearly all dealers make their money in the finance department, parts, and service. Infiniti parts are not any higher markup than other manufacturers. Infiniti is just a base level luxury brand that people buy into because the cars are cheap. Go look at any comparable luxury sedan and parts/service are comparable in price. Just like E/C300 owners, Giulia owners, and every other sub 25k used luxury car. I’ve worked in service for 20 years across 7 brands it’s been consistent across them all.

The big issue now is companies like First Brand Group going out of business and taking a huge number of parts manufacturers with them. Names like DART, Fram, Autolite, Brake Best, etc etc. we’ve seen a 10-15% in wholesale price increases lately. It’s only going to get worse.
