50 dealers have accepted buyout, therefore 14% eliminated so far.

No, no that bad, but the loss of 50 only makes a bad situation that much worse.

I'm fortunate that I live in a very dealer-rich area (one of the largest auto- sales-markets in the country outside SoCal), but even so, there are few left within easy driving distance (which I define as 25-30 miles). One of them, fortunately, is right on a D.C. Metro-subway stop....which they share with Dodge and Jeep.

In rural Central/Western areas, my guess is you could go hundereds of miles without seeing one.

They are gone as predicted. Doubt many will miss them.
