Summary
Laura Perrotta, president of the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers, says dealers are pushing back against a growing network of brokers who charge fees and operate without licenses in the state. Ram wants more dealers chasing small-business buyers. Plus, U.S. auto sales fell nearly 7 percent in April as tariffs and high prices continue to weigh on the market.
