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?
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. Anything that you're going to find is a guess; some might be fairly educated guesses, but still...

OK how abt ball park figures?
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.
My same feelings abt CEO's that make 100 million
