Chrysler-Eliminating-6-Oregon-Car-Dealerships


PORTLAND, OREGON -- Chrysler LLC eliminating 6 car dealerships in Oregon. Chrysler Oregon dealers seem to be more competitive. In a bankruptcy court motion filed in New York, Chrysler said it wants to eliminate 789 dealerships of 3200 by June 9. The motion said the dealerships sell too few cars and trucks, or compete with themselves.

Chrysler has received $4 billion in federal loans and has been operating in bankruptcy protection since April 30. Its sales this year are down 46 percent compared with the first four months of last year and it reported a $16.8 billion net loss for 2008.
