Maybe. You know the rule: I bet 20% of those dealerships do 80% of the sales. Or at least 80% of Ford's profits. The overhead of HQ servicing each dealership is (approx) fixed. Some cover that with plenty to spare, others might be barely breakeven (after dealer incentives et al). That said, even 20% of 3k is still 600 so that does feel like a positive for Ford (even without the dead weight).
