Fiat Dealership for sale in Georgia
Well, it's not too late for you to own your own Fiat Dealership....
I was reviewing the Classified Ads in Automotive News and saw a listing for a Fiat Dealership for sale in Georgia. There was no price listed but the ad indicated the dealership had the current "Image Facility" and had a strong used car operation. Now my first assessment was this was a dealer who was bailing out on Fiat but in fairness I see the same broker has a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership for sale in the same market. (Most likely a full-line CJD dealer who's selling off the entire operation.) Regardless, it's the first Fiat franchise I've seen for sale and I bet it won't be the last.... |

The dealership equivalent of swamp land for sale? That didn't take long.

My bet is there's nothing preventing the dealer from selling his stand-alone Fiat store to anyone who meets Chrysler's requirements. As before, I doubt there's a long line of interested prospects.... |

And Who has a Subaru and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram location with a FIAT Dealership and we have a winner... |

Based on the information in this thread, here are the owners of the three Georgia Fiat Dealers initially appointed by Chrysler:
Additionally, there's always the chance that AutoNation is the seller but I'm not sure if they would use a broker to sell one of their stores? |

Rick was the largest volume Hyundai dealer back in the late 1980's early 90's when he had the three big stores in Houston, Fort Lauderdale, and Atlanta while counting the sales at all three stores. http://www.rickcase.com Last edited by rd3311; 09-28-2011 at 04:48 AM. |

I was just having a conversation the other day where I mentioned I was almost 100% sure that all of the Fiat points were awarded to existing Chrysler dealers. Your example proves that I was wrong. Here's the list of the Fiat Dealers in Florida that Chrysler initially approved:

Ad is no longer listed in Automotive News
I was checking the Classified Section of Automotive News and noticed the ad for the Fiat Store in Georgia is no longer listed.
I also checked the TimLambGroup.com website and didn't see the Fiat Store listed as one of their featured offerings. While the initial evidence suggests the store has been sold, I'd be surprised if they were able to find a buyer that quickly. My bet is the ad will appear in Automotive News again on a rotational basis. |

Did the Fiat store in Atlanta ever sell?
Quote:
I checked the Fiat website and they still show the same three Fiat dealers for Atlanta. I'm guessing that the store never sold or the new owner agree to keep the existing name. (I'm betting on a no-sale.) |
