GM and Chrysler to Dump 3,400 Dealerships: Prices Will Drop
![Dealerships Shut Down](../assets/images/news/dealership_shutdown.jpg)
Chrysler will terminate 789 dealerships by June 9th (roughly 25% of their total) while GM wants to shut down a whopping 42% of their dealerships by the end of 2010.
In the long run, this will allow surviving dealerships to raise prices since there will be less competition, but in the short term, there are some screaming deals to be had, especially for Chrysler vehicles. Chrysler dealers have to get rid of their inventory by June 9th, and you can be sure they'll be offering some incredible deals.
Chrysler has released a list of dealerships that will be shutting. Here's a couple of great Google Maps showing which dealers are going to be shut down in your area. Make sure to contact these dealers to see what kind of prices they're willing to offer.
If you're looking to buy a Chrysler or GM, now is a screaming opportunity to get a great deal.
