Back in the mid 1980's,,,,,I used to have a customer with a Euro 500SEL who also happened to own large new car dealerships in multiple states.
I don't want to mention names or brands since I want to respect his identity, but this guy has a bunch of domestic car franchises.....

I got to know him since he brought his car to me for service, and one day I asked him,,,,,,, "why do you bring your car to me, when you own multiple new car stores?"

He answered, "none of my guys are qualified to touch this car."

I then asked him how he liked selling new cars and he flat out told me ,,,,
"Kid- owning a new car dealership is simply a license to STEAL used ones,,,,,,That is where the money is." Trade ins and financing are your profit centers.
