CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Web site contains contains "forward-looking statements,"
which are statements related to future, not past, events and are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. In this context,
the forward-looking statements often include statements regarding our
goals, plans, projections and guidance regarding our financial position,
results of operations, market position, pending and potential future acquisitions
and business strategy, and often contain words such as “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,”
“believes,” “seeks,” "may" or “will” and similar expressions. Any
such forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance
and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially
from those set forth in the statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, (a) general economic and business conditions,
(b) the level of manufacturer incentives, (c) the future regulatory environment,
(d) our ability to obtain an inventory of desirable new and used vehicles,
(e) our relationship with our automobile manufacturers and the willingness
of manufacturers to approve future acquisitions, (f) our cost of financing
and the availability of credit for consumers, (g) our ability to complete
acquisitions and dispositions and the risks associated therewith, (h)
foreign exchange controls and currency fluctuations, and (i) our ability
to retain key personnel. These factors, as well as additional factors
that could affect our forward-looking statements, are described in our
Form 10-K under the headings “Business—Risk Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.” We urge you to carefully consider this
information. We undertake no duty to update our forward-looking statements,
including our earnings outlook, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
