I agree with Ed, that this statistics is not true. Question is
how did they find out? We were not asked. Nobody knows
for sure. Even if I know my numbers how should I know the numbers
of other dealers? The only solution would be that all manufacturers
tell their numbers, but they will not.
Another question is which period of time is taken. 1 month, 1 year,
5 years?
