Once these dealerships are closed at Chrysler and GM, watch sales fall further as the low overhead, small rural dealers, who usually offer the best deals, disappear. And who wants to travel 40 miles with a sick car to get repairs? Or spend the day there for warranty service? People will buy what they can get locally.
I had a customer who wanted to replace her ’85 911, and she wanted either a Mercedes SLK or Porsche Boxster. At the time Porsche had no dealer in Huntsville and she would have had to spend the day in Birmingham (100 miles away) to get its warranty services at a dealer. She went with the SLK because the dealer was here in town.
