I think the outcomes dealers could hope for are:
- justice being served onto the crooks who perpetrated this/these scam(s) (aw shucks... like corn on the Cobb),
- legislation being created to prevent future financial implosions from foreign factions (Perrot's "giant sucking sound" that Tommy B. referred to in an earlier post)
- redeeming modest value of remaining FNA units, reducing amt of losses incurred and escaping somewhat intact.
I'm aware that's not a cheerful prognosis ... but a gut-level one.
One that I hope I'm completely wrong about.
Either way, you'll continue to see my name on the byline, covering it ... to the bitter end.

I think one more measure of success for the dealers would be to see parts service and warranty availibility for their customers. Friday there was an 8 and one half hour meeting among about a dozen dealers, Textron Financial , NAEDA and the Mid America Equipment Association to work out those details. It won't be easy but we have not given up. It would be so easy to just throw up our hands and give up --tell our long time customers, "Just do it on your own"--but we aren't made that way. Some of the dealers came as much as a thousand miles at their own expense to try to do what is right. Others may do what is least costly not us. So don't give up yet.
