I don't see how closing dealerships results in a savings to Chrysler.Fewer mousetraps means fewer sales. It seems to me that Chrysler should owe some compensation to the closed dealer since the dealer paid for the franchise.However, who knows what the franchise contract says. This dealer might be wise to sell off the inventory at cost. Chrysler should at least allow the dealer to continue to offer warranty service on the vehicles he sold. The dealer should investigate obtaining another franchise if he wants to stay in the business or turn his operation into a used car dealership that provides service for all types of vehicles. I think he could make this transition.Most dealerships do not make a lot of money on the sale of the vehicle. It is the service portion of the business that provides the bulk of revenue. If he has a good mechanical staff he can survive as an independent service operation.
Obama has made closet deals with their competetion. Here in South Florida, the Arrigo brothers are literally dancing on TV, while they use Adolf Obama’s face and voice to advertise their dealership. It’s about politics, not profit.
Obama is using the surviving dealerships to do indirect political campaigning. It’s quite clever. Bravo, Marxist O (strictly in the sinister sense of course)
I can’t wait for Obama to dismantle the sellout dealerships. They will reap what they sow.
