If you were looking for a Chrysler now is the time to haggle. > Chrysler LLC will eliminate 789 dealers, or 25 percent of its U.S. network, by June 9, according to a memo sent today to retailers in one sales region. > “Chrysler will not be required [per bankruptcy law] to buy back the vehicles or tools and parts from rejected dealers,” the memo says. “We will match you with an accepted dealer(s) to buy your parts, tools and vehicles.” List: [http://www.clickondetroit.com/download/2009/0514/19460314.pdf](http://www.clickondetroit.com/download/2009/0514/19460314.pdf) ---

That is what I would assume. Chrysler said they will be allowed to sell cars to the public until June 9th. Are you thinking Sprinter Van to hold all your off spring? ---

Why would they do that, it says that Chrysler will be required to buy back vehicles and tools. Most domestics are already sold at a loss to the dealer as it is to try and build service/parts business. Doubt you’ll see any better deals than you already do as a result of this. ---

What is the cost to the automakers of dealerships? In other words, what does the dealer pay for and what does the maker pay for? I guess I always ass-u-med that the dealer paid for everything like signs, training, tools, lawn mowing, etc, etc. ---

You are correct the dealer pays for all of that even brochures, unless it is a corporate controlled store, ie Amherst Chevrolet before they closed. Your next question will be: then why are they closing stores if it cost them nothing Well I have heard many reasons, but none of them hold a ton of water [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chrysler-going-out-of-business-sale/67775.md?page=2)
