Do you create another pack to cover BDC pay?

Hey folks! I'm trying to get a current consensus of how people pay for BDC commissions and costs. Is it best to absorb the costs of a BDC, or add another pack to the list? If you do pack, how much do you add, and do you pack every car, or just those sold by the BDC?Thanks for weighing in!See More

"How about a class action suit for dealers to recoup money spent and get damages for TrueCar putting them in harms way? This would have an arctic effect on any new investment dollars and may just suck up what is left of the $200M. Get a contingency…"

"The draw of a service like TrueCar is that it covers all brands. The affinity groups don't have any administration. It would be much more difficult and costly for them if they had to communicate with each brand individually."
