Bye, bye Chrysler, Love, Daimler

After just more than nine years of ownership German automaker Daimler sells off Chrysler to  Cerberus Capital Management at a loss of $650 million on this day in 2007. The deal is actually etched so that CCM purchases the brand for $7.4 billion, but due to the ongoing loss suffered by Daimler since acquiring the Chrysler brand they never turned a profit on the transaction. Chrysler Corporation included Jeep and Dodge at the time of sale(formerly included Plymouth and currently includes RAM). The transaction left Chrysler as an independent automaker. However on Jan 21, 2014 Fiat purchased Chrysler in a deal worth about $3.65 billion.

    with your website in internet explorer, would test this?
    IE still is the market leader and a large section of other people will pass over your great writing because of
    this problem.

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads
    up. The text in your article seem to be running
    off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting
    issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility
    but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and
    design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers
