Impact of vehicles\' resale for not near a dealer?
I had a thought, but don't know the answer, hopefully yall can help...
Does the proximity to a dealer affect the resale of a vehicle? For example, I saw some late-model Audis (2002, 2003) at a VW dealer in Myrtle Beach, SC. The nearest Audi dealer is 90+ miles away. Does the dealer find these Audis attractive or a neusance? Does the VW dealer welcome Audis for trade to a VW? I would assume attractive because they would be considered a "specialty" item, but maybe a neusance because of customer service issues after the sale...
Any ideas or insight?
