[QUOTE="SID297, post: 16871708, member: 8858"] This might be a question best answered by [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER]. It's pretty well known that manufacturers force dealers into remodeling their facilities, or build new ones from scratch, on an annoyingly frequent basis. However, I know of a handful of dealerships that are in their as-built 1970'ish configuration. They are all located in southern small towns (in city limits). I've heard rumors that the manufacturers will leave you alone as you try to upgrade and the municipal officials will not approve the permit applications. Word has it that a local GM shop owner (one of the 70s era buildings) has a buddy down at the local permitting office that just rejects every plan he submits for him. Anyone heard of a situation like this? I personally like seeing old school small-town dealership. I prefer doing business with them over a suburban sprawl mega-store. [/QUOTE]
