Seems as if this is copyright material, and not for you to disseminate.
But to reply, is good that a lot of dealers fold. A lot would have been
closed years ago, if was not for a lot of protective laws in the
individual states. Lots of dealers only sell a couple cars a month. Super
dealerships will get the benefit of better advertising dollar usage, and
savings from quantity. Lots of businesses fail each year. What's new?


The largest local car dealership near us started out as a Lincoln/Mercury
dealership. It is a family owned business. Over the years they have
purchased additional adjacent lots and built two more facilities, one
selling Toyotas, the other selling Chrysler/Dodge.

They have further expanded. The individual dealerships now consist of:

Lincoln/Mercury/Nissan
Toyota
Chrysler/Dodge/KIA

There may be another line also, but I can't remember.

Anyway, we have purchased several vehicles from them over the years and I've
got to know one of the owners (he's also a classic car buff). He's not
concerned about going out of business.
