I have often wondered how much revenue a automobile generates.
I can't find any study that gives any answer.
Maybe one of you might know
So, a car is made on the assembly line, but prior to that parts are made.
Those parts take employees, etc, they spend their earnings on food, etc.
Now the parts are to be assembled.
More employees earning money and spending.
Trucked, shipped to dealers.
Salespeople, etc, all associated with a car dealership all earn a living from the "car".
Now its sold, you buy gas, etc, service it, etc.
You keep it for so many years, sell it, and earn revenue selling it.
The new owners buys new stuff for it, service, repairs, etc.
all of these people spend that money on other things.
Repeat selling a car before it becomes scrap.
How much do you think that car contributed to our economy ( based on a mean average of car value ) ?
what I am trying to factor out is this, a $30,000.00 car generates how much more revenue over its life time?
does this make any sense?
