Default Is ford going under??

So i've noticed quite a few ford dealers around here have just up and cleared out.


Be a damn shame if there were no more ford. Their trucks look so damn nice.

Their stock is at $2.20 right now. They haven't been above $3.19 in over a year. I wouldn't think the government would let one of the big three go under but hell you never know.

Sarcasm?

My dealership (GMC, Buick, Olds, Mazda) just shut their doors. I had made relationships there, they took care of me. Now I have nowhere to go for warranty work.

no sarcasm here. All the other dealers seem to be "fine" from what i can see in their inventory

alot of dealers are getting pushed under the rug. there are 2 many dealers right now(small stores) the manufactures are pushing for the bigger mega stores/lots. there have been many smaller dealers for convenience for the customer. but that throws inventory off and gives mixed #'s to the manufacturer. there are at least 10 dealers within 50 miles of me where i could go buy a new silverado. many are gonna get axed at in the end it will result in the customer having to drive a few extra miles to get there new ride. chrysler is doing a big restructure of there dealers, the weak are out!
