Yea I would hate to be an automobile dealer right now, they are getting double whammied right now. They can't sell the cars because of the economy, and when their free flooring ends they have to borrow the money to pay the manufacturer, then on the other end the customers can't get credit because the banks are tightening up their lending standards. Some dealers have millions of dollars of inventory. On top of their interest burden, they have the usual overhead of rent, payroll, etc.. Not Good!
