Where are the Japanese/Korean Car Dealers?

This is an actual and honest question. If anyone knows the answer, please let the rest of us know by posting a comment.

The question is: Why are there no Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi or Hyundai dealers anywhere in Sag Hampton? Don’t tell me they’re in Riverhead, that’s 50 minutes away when there’s no traffic. We have Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler, and OF COURSE we have Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Mini-Cooper, Range Rover, Saab (but, curiously, not Volvo), Audi, Porsche, and Jaguar, but if you want to buy the best selling car in America, a Toyota Camry, you have to drive 28 miles through Hamptons traffic to get to the closest dealer. What’s with that?

P.S. – We bought a Toyota Prius today — in Oakdale, not Riverhead. Oil changes are going to be a bear.

    I have no idea of the answer, of course. But it sounds like a business opportunity to me!
    But hey, you bought a Prius, which is green no matter what color it is. That’s great. Enjoy! At least those 56 mile jaunts (round trip) won’t use 4 to 5 gallons of gas like some other cars I could mention!

    Well that’s strange, I find it hard to believe that Asian car dealers don’t have a good geographic marketing. On the other hand things are not that bad either, I could live with 50 min on the road if wanted one of those cars. Things are almost alike in my area, I had to travel for more than an hour to get my Nissan parts, I am not complaining though because my effort was worth it.

    Man, you should come by my Audi auto parts shop and see the offers there… I guess a Prius is ok, but an Audi is much much better and not that expensive with all the global financial crisis.

    Japanese producers are everywhere, but maybe they fought that 28 miles isn’t that a long distance for someone that wants a Japanese car. Anyway: 28 miles is a short distance so don’t cry too much: there are other people that don’t even know what a car is. Have you ever thought about that?
