Marion county Florida has a repeat
retail sales leader again for 2009. For independently owned and operated
pre-owned dealers "Prestige Auto Sales" was #1 in retail sales for both 2007,
2008 & 2009 in Marion county. The department of motor vehicles tracks sales
for all dealers, both new and used, and for Marion county "Prestige Auto Sales"
was the only Independent, used car, sport utility & truck dealer to surpass
