[QUOTE="PMG, post: 246725, member: 6968"] Your right it is but what you describe is still not enough. The few deals that go south are small potatoes. You need to lower the power on the microscope and look at the larger picture. The dealer network wants ALL of the sales, new / used , add on business(business office, very profitable), service ( the most profit), used sales and service , parts, referred business, to both sales and service , legacy business from friends, family, referrals and repeat business over the lifecycle of that person. This is the landscape of their business . If GM/ Dealers allow others to dictate that marketplace they lose control of their business. If 20% of these cars are exported out of this market , I know we are small, they lose on service , parts,customer retention, resale, and the rest of it. Make no mistake, what sounds like a bunch of crap to us is the lifeblood of their existence and they will defend it to the death at ALL levels. GM and other multinational companies and their agents have the depth both financially and legally to protect their turf, and they will. [/QUOTE]
