Yep, I haven't heard of any other dealer sharing like that. When it comes to profit, LPO = Leave Parts Out.

To the OP, there is no way in the world that I would be taking LPO parts in trade whether it was installed or not.

Perhaps I got lucky, but my SM doesn't order cars, DP does. All accessory incentive bonuses, including SFE money, goes to the parts department.

LPO = Leave Parts Out , i need a tshirt with that on it !! The LPO system has been broken for years. Just a little FYI to add fuel to the fire , sales is also incentivised on the parts accessories sales numbers. In our dealership here we do about 35k + a month in accessory sales through parts NOT service NOT sales . The sales department isn't real big into LPO's thankfully BUT The GM SFE dealer program gives a monthly bonus payout to GM dealership sales departments based on rooftop accessories total sales amount. Why wouldn't parts get the incentive if we selling the accessories ?!?! I swear GM hates their parts parts departments :evil:

We share in a portion of the labor from service department LPO installations plus all the labor on the transit wheel returns. Decent money maker for my department.
