Monte, Is the current economic situation going to lead to the loss of many of the small town dealerships and sales becoming more focused on the larger high volume sales type operation?
I wonder how long the marginal dealerships can continue to exist while sales are down. People are seeing ads from the high volume dealers and are willing to drive some distance to get the better deal.
Is this what you see happening? It's going to be tough for the smaller dealers but in my opinion even tougher for some of the under performing big dealers who have unbelievable overhead. There are some huge dealerships in the DFW area that only sold 40-60 new cars last month they will not last long at that rate.

I think the general public has no idea how little money a dealership actually makes on many of its sales. Given the current situation, and the fact that taxes and other expenses continue to mount, I don't see how some of them are going to survive.
It is kinda sad. I drive out to Kaufman at times to get service on my truck because I hate the huge maintenance facility at the mega store. I can even call the folks in Kaufman and ask questions of the service staff. Try that a five star Ford and see how it goes.
Oh well, some call it progress.

Rusk had two dealerships, one ford and one chevy , both went belly up last month. The chevy place is going to try to stay open as used cars and service dept only.
MO Greg James,the Chevrolet dealer in Rusk, has his house in Nacogdoches up for sale for $700,000. I guess it was a good dealership for a while.

I live right around the corner from Classic and it is a giant of a Dealership. I can see how they'd move a lot of units. I'd be interested to see just how many vehicles they have on site because for as big as it is, there's no room wasted. It's bumper to bumper, mirror to mirror.
