Dealerships can't survive on Trucks and Sports cars alone. What did you think would happen with everyone buying Toyota, Honda, Nissan. Birchcliff was gone recently too, sadly, only more to come. Both GM and Ford have had huge downgrades in the stock market recently too.

Northtown Phone Number
You can try this number: (905) 764-4104
The message recorder is full though, and the attendant's line feeds back to the recording.
I called Ford of Can. but thay can't tell me if my GT is scheduled without a dealer order number which, of course, I must get from the dealer.

Northtown may reopen by 22-APR
The car gods smiled on me and I was able to get inside this afternoon. The guy who came to get rid of me said the new owners were hoping to reopen as early as next week with mostly the same staff.

I sell to the dealerships service departments, I spoke to Dean Twig towards the end of March and he informed me that within 3 weeks (which should be now) the dealership should be undergoing an ownership change. I called with no luck, no answer....... I dont know what to think here.... it sucks. I expect Ford will probably take up the slack and make right whatever is wrong here.

Northtown Resurection
Talked to two former NTF salesmen today. Peter Tino is now at Palladini and Doug Coulson will start at Yorkdale next Monday. Tino cold-called and wanted me to switch my order to Palladini but I'll stay with Coulson (he's a neighbor). Both doubt NTF will reopen anytime soon.
