Default Another NJ cehvy dealer closes.

New Norris Chevrolet in Westfield, NJ closed down today.

I found the following article.

This sucks, I bought a few cars and always had warranty repairs done there.

That is a good thing for Pontiac.
Back in early 2000, when I went to Cerami to look at WS6 TAs, they would not let me even start one without putting a deposit on it. They kept saying "It is a specialty vehicle blah blah blah...." They had over 10 WS6 TAs on there lot, all because they didn't want to work with potential buyers.

A week later, I went to a dealer is Little Falls to again look at the TAs. The first thing the sales person said was "Do you want to go for a test drive?" Which dealer do you think I bought from?

I bought a Impala SS for the wife from New Norris Chevrolet about 2 years ago. It was an absolutely painless process, they ordered exactly what she wanted, it arrived on time. It was really a pleasure doing business with them.

must suck to be you. i went to cerami in 01. i started the pewter WS6 they had sitting in front of the door, no questions asked. i wasnt 100% buying one yet so i didnt test drive it, but it was offered. my mother bought an 06 vibe from them, very easy expeirence. they even offered to install heated seats, which we didnt know was possible.

That is a shame.

I bought a few cars from them, including my Z-28.

i was driving by tonight and saw the lack of cars and the lease sign. My parents bought a car from there a few years ago. Sucks to see happen, but I have to admit, I would have expected them to close before most other gm dealers.

read up on jalopnik and other like sites. its unfortunately official: saturn is being shut down nation-wide. it could be picked up by another brand, as could hummer, but its doubtful. also, worse then anything, Pontiac wont be a brand anymore either. all hopes of it being the performance division of GM, with all RWD lineups, have gone down the *******. they say its being kept as a 'nameplate only' or something like that. meaning, i suppose, youll be at a chevy dealer looking at a new malibu, and have a rebadged malibu next to it called a Pontiac.
