I saw a Chrysler dealer on CNBC the other day. He said the move makes no sense because they basically cost Chrysler nothing, they are buyers of the Chrysler product...so why tell them they can’t sell Chrysler’s anymore. I wondered if it was just “his side” of the story, but I don’t see how it profits Chrysler to close dealerships, if they are independently owned and their affiliation with Chrysler if contractual.
This is untrue...who do you think pays for the cars until they are sold? Not the dealers.
