Default Buy a cheap car from bankrupt dealer?

Saw this article on cnn and thought I'd post up in case local members were looking to capitalize:

ya, Ive purchased at least 15 cars now in my life from dealers off all kinds and I wont shed a tear for any car dealer or any car salesmen/Manager. I got raped wen I was younger and so does probably 75% of the people that buy fro ma dealer. Let them all lose their jobs and let us buy direct from the manufacturer
