Why would GM or Chrysler want to have less dealers to sell their product?

January 13th, 2012
MJ S asked:


GM & Chrysler are in bankruptcy because they can’t sell enough cars to make a profit.

GM & Chrysler does not sell us their cars.

The independent dealer sells their product. These dealers are the automakers ONLY customer; without them they cannot sell cars.
How does shutting them out solve the automakers problem.

The dealer is the only source of income for the automakers not a liability. Add in the lost parts sales and warranty service the dealer provides and closing dealers makes as much sense as closing grocery stores to help improve Kraft Food’s bottom line.
