I used to work for a dealer selling two different makes of car - both manufacturers used to pass on the costs to the dealer of the couple of litres of fuel in each car (enough so that it could be driven on and off the transporter!) and even the wax crap that they get covered in from the factory.

It's a wonder they don't bill for the time it takes to raise the invoice!
