Deuce McAllister Nissan has filed for chapter 11...and that Nissan Motor Credit is pursuing them for around $900K. They have attempted to seize the supposedly $5M in inventory to secure the debt. Sounds like somebody didn't pay the floorplan.

More than likely, Deuce is insulated in this. He prob doesn't have a whole lot of his own money in it. When it was formed, there were some guys in Slidell I think that bankrolled it.

You're right. He doesn't have much stake AND it's the dealership being sued, not Deuce.

Deuce is more or less a "marketing campaign" for these dealerships. Remember Deuce Imports? He never had any stake in that business. He is a name to help sell cars.

do people really buy a new vehicle just because of a name on a sign? As ridiculous as I think some of the car ads are on t.v. today, they can have a bare assed chimp doing the commercial with his name on the sign outside and I am still going to buy the best priced vehicle I can, even from a bare assed chimp dealership. I will then do my homework and take it to be serviced at the best possible place but a new vehicle is a new vehicle.

say 10% or so of Ole Miss fans that salivate over Shepherd Smith and buy their cars from Deuce's dealerships
There is also about the same percentage of MSU fans that would not step foot on the lot.

The aforementioned are dubmasses. In my lifetime I have met one serious case of each. Both are 17ers that no one wants to be around.

It says that Deuce filed for bankruptcy protection for the car dealership because it owes nearly 7 million dollars total and that he is searching for an invester. I makes no mention of his percent of the dealership. It just lists Deuce personally.

Seems to me he needs to file for some of that TALF money.

Hope Jerious didn't write that check yet.
That's just a Donald Trump style bankruptcy. Not a personal bankruptcy.. but just on a business venture that has failed. It's better to cut it loose that way than to sink a ton of your own money into it and it still possibly go under in this economy.
