Nelson Automotive Center, in Fergus Falls, is not one of the 19 dealerships in Minnesota that Chrysler LLC has decided to cut. Chrysler wants to cut 789 of its 3,200 automotive dealerships across the county, the dealership said in a bankruptcy court filing on Friday. According to Chrysler, around 50% of its 3,200 U.S. dealerships account for roughly 90% of the company’s sales.
While Nelson Automotive Center isn’t one of the dealerships to be cut, Nereson Automotive, located in Detroit Lakes, Minn., less than fifty miles from Fergus Falls, is.
Chrysler dealers who are on the closure list can appeal the decision in a bankruptcy filing on Monday in New York. According to Chrysler, says sales are too slow to justify keeping all the dealers open.
