The trouble is, from what I’ve seen, it is the franchises that are making money that are being closed and passed on to those which are not.
I have not looked into that but what you say makes no sense whatsoever.
First of all, only about 25% of the dealerships are closing.
I find it hard to believe that 75% are not profitable and being ‘given’ the profitable businesses owned by the other 25%.
Secondly - Chrysler, if they are smart (a debatable point certainly), should only be looking at a few factors when making these decisions - first and foremost new car sales performance and secondly location. Many dealerships do very well overall but their make specific new car sales don’t stack up very well. Which means they either represent multiple makes and/or they are fantastic at used car sales. As for location, many metro areas have multiple dealerships and centralizing their business can and should be a reasonable approach.
Well... that makes perfect sense. The complete and total bankruptcy of America and Americans by its’ Marxist enemies can’t happen if someone, somewhere, is still making money via that evil capitalism. That has to be stopped!
Pitchfork time YET???
