Has COVID19 affected your Dealership?

  1. US Automakers have stopped making vehicles
  2. Non-essential declarations (shut down sales and service is coming next)
  3. Even if they were open, ain't no way people are showing up to look at cars during this
  4. Shit tons of people have lost their jobs and $1,200 handout ain't doing that much for them, and buying a car with no income, ha! Good luck with the approval process.
There's that! That includes the $10K+/ mo. I am losing personally as a consultant with flat fees.

The thread serves as a crowdsourced resource for dealers facing unprecedented challenges, though the initial replies paint a bleak picture with one consultant reporting personal losses exceeding $10K monthly.
