Default RE: Dealers Closing


ORIGINAL: BLK 6050

A dealer told me that it's just a way of "standardizing" the dealer network...of course this dealer was already a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership.....
Well, I can understand that. I just don't think it is a wise strategy is all. Some areas that have a lot of snow and mountains are probably not going to be looking at owning many Chryslers as much as they would want to have Jeeps and Dodges. Some areas that are paved and in warm climates, year-around are likely not to need as many Jeep dealers. I trust the owners of the dealership more than I trust the corporate level. It's simple logic that if a dealer knew there was a market for these other models in their area, who wouldn't go ahead and offer these models anyways. I believe the ones that don't have them choose not to have them because they have figured out that there is insufficient demand to justify offering it.
