Disputes Sanders’ claim

September 4, 2009 10:34:00 AM

According to the Thursday''s edition of The Dispatch, Harry Sanders stated in the Charrette meeting at the Link there has been a loss of automobile sales in Columbus to dealerships in Noxubee, Lamar, and Pickens counties. What dealerships is he talking about? I can''t speak for all the Columbus dealerships but the three Carl Hogan stores retailed over 200 vehicles last month mostly to zip codes outside Columbus. If Harry has statistics to support this I would like to see them.

Clyde Rhea, Columbus

Rhea is sales manager of Carl Hogan Automotive, Inc.

them out of thin air.
