Easy, it's called the government buying the cars they make with our money. You don't need dealerships to sell cars to yourself now do you?!?

“How do you sell more products by closing dealers?”

HMMMMM. (Looking in basic economics textbook.)
Nope, don’t see anything there.

BTW, in my town, we have a Ford dealer, and across the street is a dealer that handles GM stuff. (Buick,Chevy,Caddy,and Pontiac.) They also have Dodge and Jeep.
The GM contract was thrown out. They are hanging on to the Mopar side for now.
My Friend, the Ford dealer is barely dog-paddling as of now.
This is a huge blow to our town.

Car dealers have a lot of fixed costs. If every GM dealer has only enough sales and margin to beak even, then it is better for the surviving dealers that say half of the dealers disappear so that the rest have more sales per dealership: more cars, less competition, better margins, therefore profit.
