“Why couldnt they make any of these sales before taking a boatload of my money?”
They owed the UAW...
I thought I read somewhere that Penske was going to re-sell/re-badge vehicles made from different parts of the world...vendors that do not necesserily want to open manufacturing/dealerships stateside. Example, Penske would import a few Chinese cars (Chery, etc), Renault, SEAT, etc...a smorgasborg of different brands. I think he would do well to import several mid-size diesel pick-ups that are available in other countries...
