Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Wilsonn Perez Reyes

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Myriam Seers Aug 18, 2022:
A possible transation of the whole passage On the more faithful-to-the-source end of the spectrum:
XXX shall ensure that the profit margin it applies with regard to vehicle sale prices is always 8%.
"with regard to" could also be replaced with "in all matters referring to" or the other suggestions that others have already made.

How I would draft it if drafting it in English in the first place rather than translating it, and therefore what I think it means:
XXX's profit margin on vehicle sale prices shall not exceed 8%.

with regard to

...with regard to the vehicle's sale price

This make eminently more sense if you don't try to translate "todo"

in all things related to

Literally "in all that refers to".
I am also not sure how to interpret this, but it appears they will apply this 8% margin to all values related to vehicle sale price, this may perhaps include other secondary values such as accessories, insurances, etc. but I am really not sure.
