Replying to: steve_ (Sep 26, 2009 7:42 am) I wonder if the guy who sold me my Intrepid is still around? I liked him...he seemed genuine, honest, and no-pressure. My Dad bought his '03 Regal from the same guy, but that's been 6 years now. Hopefully, if he's not retired already, that guy doesn't end up out of work! |

get their 15 minutes of fame: Rejection, in their own words: Dealers tell stories on YouTube September 28, 2009 - 12:01 am ET Dealers whose stores were rejected by Chrysler and General Motors now can tell their stories in person on a new Internet TV channel. The channel, whose Web address is youtube.com/rejecteddealers, went live Tuesday, Sept. 22, and already had more than 60 videos posted and about 5,900 viewers as of Thursday night, Sept. 24, said Tammy Darvish, a co-chair of the Committee to Restore Dealer Rights. Darvish said she had sent letters to the owners of all the dealerships rejected by Chrysler and GM, telling them about the channel and inviting them to use iPhones or video cameras to tell their stories. "This is your opportunity to be heard," she told the dealers. "No one has heard their story. It's so much easier to watch it live. Dealers take a lot of comfort in telling their stories themselves." http://www.autonews.com/article/20090928/ANA06/309289950/1018 I wonder if it's any consolation to dealers that there is now a "Committee to Restore Dealer Rights"?!  I have to go and check this YouTube channel out...... |

"The Saturn dealers will not go that quietly. They will likely try to force GM into doing one of two things: 1) give them money to go away or, 2) get back in the room with Penske and work out a deal." Don't Expect Saturn Dealers to Go Quietly (CNBC)

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 01, 2009 8:01 am) This means that the only GM products available in town are Buicks and GMC. Meanwhile, you can buy any Chrysler product, any Ford product, Nissan and Honda. Hyundai recently OPENED a dealership here. |

Only those dealers who contributed to the Obama campaign "are safe"?

Replying to: oregonboy (Oct 01, 2009 10:15 pm) I'm a bit more surprised to see that no one picked up the Mazda dealership because it had already changed hands a couple of years ago. Meanwhile, the VW-Porsche-Audi place I had shopped a Passat at 10 years ago and then promptly burned down started rebuilding a couple of years ago and then sudden;t stopped so if you want to open a new dealership there's a nice half built one there for you.... |
