Yet they have taken dealerships off people who did sell the cars and did service and who wanted to remain dealers, e.g. Modern Motors Dungog.Quote:

I thought Bathurst LR closed well over 12 months ago in the first round of LR dealership closures.Quote:

No, they survived the first one, i think, i am pretty sure it happened earlier this year. Dissapointing really because there were a good dealer, they only had one salesman who specialised in the selling of land rovers but he was good and would always stand around and chat with me even though he knew i wasnt in the market for a new one. Its dealers like that that should be kept open. MattQuote:
