Default KIA Open Point in Ventura, CA?

I've been on a bit of a road trip and decided to check out my old stomping grounds in Ventura, CA.

I was surprised when I saw that Crown KIA was closed and there was a chainlink fence surrounding the facility. Any idea how long it's been closed? There's a big sign on the front of the building indicating that it is For Sale or Lease.

With gas at $4.50/gallon I would think that KIAs would be pretty hot.

Who owned it? Public or private?

Bob Crown from Crown Dodge owned the store.

Crown Dodge was a powerhouse back in the days when Dodge was red hot. It was not uncommon for them to run two full page ads in the L.A. Times in an effort to get people to drive to Ventura to buy a car.

Given their history of success I was surprised to see that they closed their KIA store.
