Actually, it looks like it was a combo of GMAC cutting them off and getting busted for some shady business practices as well..

Bill Heard, who claimed to be the world's top-selling Chevrolet dealer with $2.1 billion in sales last year, took two big hits in recent months before laying off 2,700 workers in seven states this week. GMAC Financial Services discontinued Heard's floor planning line of credit for cars in inventory on Aug. 21. The following day, the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs filed court paper's accusing Heard of a "long-standing pattern of attempting to deceive Georgia consumers in violation of the Fair Business Practices Act," according to Automotive News.

The sleaze problems were in sales. My friend was a service writer and is an honest, straight up guy..

One of the dealerships here had a really interesting proposition. Buy a giant SUV or pickup for list and get a subcompact for FREE!
