Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / April 2006Need graph of cost breakdown of car
I've looked high and low on Google for a graph or cost breakdown of a typical car to no avail I need something that spells out what steel costs, what labor costs, what marketing cost, etc Any idea where I can get such info? > I've looked high and low on Google for a graph or cost > breakdown of a typical car to no avail [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Any idea where I can get such info? If you want an ACCURATE breakdown, you're going to have to sneak into the offices of a manufacturer and steal it. I'm sure this is closely guarded, proprietary info.

Dunno, but I heard US car manufacturers wailing the other day that that health benefits for employees add about $1500 of cost to a car, and that that was more than the steel of that car... it's true, With all the plastics and aluminum that goes into a car these days, the cost for steel isn't that much. The most expensive thing about building a car is the labor. That is why so many major manufacturers are outsourcing to other countries for cheap labor and laying off everyone at home. I never understood why someone running a foot press needs to make $28 myself, i suppose GM saw it the same way. lol. My sincerest apologies to all that lost thier jobs because of the downsizing. www.mydreamwheels.com >i suppose GM saw it the same way. >lol.
