When a dealership closes down, lots of silly ripples come through the economy, and can potentially start a tidal wave of trouble.  Take for instance, the new GTR; The dealership cannot sell these, as there simply isn’t a big market for them.

Then where the hell is this car going if the dealership goes under?

I’ll tell you where it isn’t going – your garage.  The dealership will be slashing costs and offering benefits to the point that they will lose money.  The truth is, they’ve already lost, that’s why they’re shutting down.  They have no concern as to where the car goes, so long as their ownership has transferred.  Instead of this savings being passed onto you, the consumer, it’s highly likely that this car will be worth no more than the cost to house it – because it’s more likely to be sold cheaper to a warehouse than it is to be sold to the consumer.

That’s right, brand new cars all across the country are destined to fill warehouses and overgrowth infested parking lots, surrounded in barbed wire.  The stunning factor is that most dealers couldn’t sell these cars if they wanted to.  Dealership prices are well below MSRP, but people simply aren’t interested.  With a record number of 881 dealerships nationwide closing, one must think, where are these cars going?  Just some food for thought.
