Tragic loss for Melbourne. Property will be empty, local taxes lost and all the jobs too.
Wonder how far I will have to go for DODGE service? Merritt Island or Vero Beach?
From a search of Dodge dealers, yep. Sell your Chrsyler / Dodge product now before the resale value sinks below the scrap value. And for heavens sake, don’t buy a Government Motors replacement.
IF the plan is to combine the two nearby operations into a single super-dealer with Chrysler AND Dodge, there is some sense to be found here. That Joseph gets screwed in the process is what sucks - a forced marriage between the two dealerships would have been much better than sinking Joseph and letting Gator reap the spoils (assuming that's what will happen). The Gator owner has a chance to do right here and be fair with Mr. Joseph.
Unless they're nuking Gator too and then it's back to bizarro land again. Makes no sense to leave a dealership hole in Melbourne.
