This week saw the demise of the Des Moines, IA LR dealership
The group they were part of (European Motorcars) were bought out and the new owners chose not to pick up the franchise.
The good news is that it looks as if Betts Auto Group will be picking up the franchise (they currently have the rest of the Ford Luxury Vehicles line-up [minus the Aston Martins]). They've already gotten the dealer service accreditation (along with most of the dealer mechs etc).
