Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Dodge Dealer's outrageous story in newspaper

[LarryT (l02turner]

I read the ones being closed were not necessarily weak or failing - they 
closed the stores that were not selling quantities of the major franchises. 
Something like 61% of the dealrships sold a small % of the total sales.  So 
those are being closed.

Does anyoneelse wonder why closing sales outlets are a good thing?  Does it 
cost Chrysler money to wholesale a car to a dealership?

Maybe it's different than I think - which is - a dealership *pays* for the 
privilidge of buying cars at a reduced rate so they can turn around and 
resell them to the public.

How does closing the stores that are selling cars *save* money?  Does it 
cost Chrysler money to have those "lower performing" stores open?
