Furious1Auto Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) They need about 6 to go away here, there are roughly 20 within an hours drive These lots are not shutting down though, their converting into other auto franchises that are selling better.

NLPRacing Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 These lots are not shutting down though, their converting into other auto franchises that are selling better. Let'em all switch to Toyota. Then Toyota can have the same problems later that Ford is having now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) And have twice the amount of ads persuading you to go Toyota? Nuh-uh! That would be bad. I wish I could remove one of the Toyota dealers that runs local ads, as it gets hammered every year by the other dealer in town.
