Ford's Minority Dealers offered opportunity to complete their buy-out for $1

[XDCX]

News reports indicate that Ford is allowing dealers in their Minority Dealer Program an opportunity to complete their "buy-out" for $1. The only requirement is the dealer must be able to show they have adequate working capital to run the store.

Dealers who do not take advantage of the program will still be allowed to remain in Ford's Minority Dealer Program. Ford is not taking any new Minority Dealer applicants at this time.

I wonder if this deal excludes real estate? It must, that's the only way it would make sense.
