Overhead of dealerships must do something here too. I read that even after it drops 1000 dealers GM will still have more than twice as many (4000 something) than Honda (around 1800)...
Fer instance. My little town of Winchendon has a failing GM dealership (Patterson Chevrolet/Buick). Gardner the city next door (20,000 folks makes it a city) has Salvadore auto group which has Chevy and Dodge (where I bought my Ford, go fig) and is doing okay. We've got one too many dealerships around at least. -Curt Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:41:40 -0500 From: Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Cerberus wants money back To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed So after spending billion$ on advertising, they still can't beat the competition with the exact same car, tarted up (hmmm maybe it has something to do with the dealers? Don't know. Or overall reputation for quality and commitment?). That makes me want to give them billion$ more to help them out. It boggles the mind. --R _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
