They'd have to pay $200,000 to all dealerships, not just the ones who wanted to leave. Plus I am sure that equipment takes up land/space, and reduces the number of service bays. And requires trained staff. $176 million is differen

It may be "high" but it's not "artificial". That's real money being invested in these companies. Index funds buy stock and never sell it. It's real money, buying real shares, that takes the stock out of ci

Back when I was making $20k per month working on my own, almost 100% went into my pocket except for taxes. Not sure why you'd look down upon that amount. It's a good lifestyle business if you can do that consistently.

I agree with the other commenter that "deserves" is a strong word. If you want to sell something for money, you put a price on it. And people decide to buy it or not. If you give it away for free, going back after the fact and ask
