Now, how many times have you and I discussed this very issue, and every time you've told me GM can't do this due to franchise laws and other things, well now they are doing it in no uncertain terms. Apparently GM will cover things like buying back unsold inventory, and paying for unsold parts, equipment, and some signage. But there will be no more money to pay for anything else. In other words, tough luck if any dealer tries to file a lawsuit.
THIS is what GM should have been doing years ago!!!!!!! I am thrilled beyond delight to see that finally scumbag dealerships are going to get the shaft by GM they have deserved for years and years (and please don't try to deny some dealerships need a big shaft where the sun don't shine).
Again, I have nothing against the good guys in this business, and once we erradicate the bad apples that give the good ones a bad name, EVERYONE will benefit!  |
Oh trust me!
I think we're going to attempt to weed out the bad ones - BUT -- it won't be easy as those laws are still laws. Chapter 11 would probably change everything -- but again, I'm not an attorney.
I believe that there will be court cases -- many of them -- over this --
Time will tell --
But yes, up to this point, Franchise laws prohibited us from just terminating a dealership...........
