Maybe Warren will dump the Caddy for a Lexus now (maybe not)

Is anyone familiar with these folks?

Here is a link to their site press release.

Maybe some discounts are coming to us shareholders (maybe not)

Thanks chikoo

Would you say it is a dealership you would want to do business with?

Buffet said this group is so big that if a public company, they would be in the Fortune 500.

I imagine the synergies will include offering Geico insurance and Wells Fargo loans at the dealerships.

Plus the Chevy and Ford shops can offer the Stahl truck bodies.

Maybe he will even rebrand the shops (a lot of them are branded as Reliable) like he did recently in the Real Estate space.

I purchased my MB from them, and a friend purchased the XC90. Very good experience.

I used to work at Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale many years ago and have met Larry Van Tuyl. He was a jerkoff back in the day and treated people like crap. Then he would get on his private jet and take off. lol
