So, the dealerships being closed do not have a directly measurable impact on expenses, but the "soft" expenses and liabilities are fairly significant when you break it all down.
Thanks, all, for your explanations. Kind of looks like their worry of a "perception problem" plays a big role in the closings. Well, there might be more of a problem than they think...my perception of them now isn't too good! Can probably wrap it up in the word "distrust"....big time! I am sure I'm not alone, either. One more quick question...all the $$ paid to, say GM, by a dealership to have the franchise in the first place...just gone? The vehicles they bought...sell as best they can?? I sure wish Lakes Region Chrysler-Jeep and the other unfortunate dealers all the best of luck...but it sounds almost impossible!
