Default RE: Chrysler faces a tough task


ORIGINAL: RLSH700

They better not try to get rid of Oliver C. Joseph in that stupid plan. That would be a war on heritage. That dealership has been around since Dodge's beginning. They started in 1914 for crying out loud. We bought both of my parent's minivans from them. They had to move their facility as the section of town they were located in was part of the old town that was hard to find if you didn't know where you were going, and it was on a one way street. Plus they had their lots on several blocks because they didn't have enough room for the inventory. Their new facility is nice and located away from any areas that are currently likely to become run down and filled with crime (a growing issue in Belleville). If they have to kill one of them, they ought to kill the Chrysler/Jeep dealership in O'Fallon. Their sales staff is pretty sad, they lack Dodge (which to me is more an issue than lacking Jeep who only sells 6 nameplates of the same type of vehicle excluding the Compass that doesn't sell). They also have that appearance that tells you their not that good.
you must be from around here too RLSH700....I am suprised that the article didnt mention that Oliver C Joseph is the oldest surviving Chrysler/Dodge franchise in the country... as for the dealership(s) in O'Fallon, they have their own impending troubles to deal with...there was some press a while back about the Feds, tax troubles, and off-shore companies...
