I believe there is a limit to the distance between Ford dealerships. Although it only prevents them from being too close to each other. There was more than a few problems when Mercury dealers became Ford dealers. Some money was passed out and many Mercury dealers closed soon after being switched to Ford

Doesn't 20 minutes in your area = 1 or 2 blocks in regular traffic and 1 or 2 feet in rush hour??

haha... 20 minutes is on traffic-less roads.. if the one downtown closes when the lease is up (it's been extended twice I've last heard, but still on their last legs), the closest one is 20 minutes across town in light traffic.

The dealership I bought from because I thought the one downtown had closed (until they called me, asking when I'd be in for my next service) is about half an hour in light traffic.
