Northtown Ford-Closed and bankrupt?

I feel terrible for anyone who purchased a car from Northtown Ford here in the GTA yesterday. I also feel bad for people who have their cars in for service and now they're locked out and can't get their vehicles.

The owner of the dealership who resides in Auroura is out of the Country and his house is empty and for sale.

This is not a good situation for Northtown customers.

The Hadleys were trying to sell the franchise, but Ford would not approve the potential new owners ... is the story I heard at work today. Terrible when a big store like that closes up.

cheers

So what do the people do that have their work cars/trucks inside? There's gotta be a way to get their stuff outta there

Damn... I didn't hear about this until now.
Northtown is the closest Ford dealership just up the road from me.

Northtown Down

My '05 GT was due to arrive there in a few weeks. Lucky it wasn't there yesterday! I feel awfull for those who have their cars locked up there.

Does anyone know of a web support group for Northtown victims?

Does Ford have anything on-line? Google struck out and Ford's search engine returned nothing.

This is the second dealership that I know of that closed their doors.
Albeit, Rowland Ford merged/was bought out by Donway Ford.

And now Northtown.

I personally did not have a good experience purchasing a vehicle from them.
And I found their service dept lacking in some areas. 60mins for an oil change?

I think I'll swing by there after work and see what's up.

An aquaintance of mine is/was a salesman there. Doug Coulson - interviewed on CFTO news last night. I'll call him later (knowing Doug, he's gonna need to sleep off last night's wake).
