WOW! I just looked through the listing to see what the parts brought. I remember attending a similar auction years ago of a "Five Star" dealer that was closed up by Chrysler Financial. I traveled 230 miles one way to attend and didn't bring a large enough trailer to fit everything and had to go back. The thing that amazed me was there was only one other Chrysler dealer at the auction! He bought very little. I can't remember the exact parts, but we retailed 4 numbers and the profit on those 4 parts paid for the rest of the parts and expenses of the trip.
The EX-Dealer was there with his wife, we talked for a while and I just felt so bad for them. We never got into details of the closure but he did say that CFC came in while he was on a Five Star trip.
That fact always bothered me.
