A showroom redesign can cost $200k, a repair bay refresh about the same.

Inventory represents a far bigger investment.

Dealerships are expensive to operate. It's more likely the Buick brand just isn't making the sales volumes to justify the expenses.

I didnt even think Buick was still being sold. I can't imagine it has a large market position.
