Four Chrysler dealerships to close in the valley

Chrysler said in its filing that dealers are not competitive enough with foreign brands. Chrysler sold an average of 303 vehicles per dealer in 2008, according to its filing. By contrast, Honda Motor Co. sold about 1,200 vehicles per dealer, while Toyota Motor Corp. sold nearly 1,300 per dealer.

Local dealerships included in the proposed closures are United Dodge, United Chrysler Jeep, Marsh Chrysler Jeep and Integrity Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

The closures will leave Towbin Dodge and Chapman Chrysler as the only Chrysler dealerships in Southern Nevada.
