Dealership expectsto return to business
LISBON -- Rick Quinn, owner of Quinn Chevrolet Buick, 114 S. Jefferson St., said Thursday he hopes to get new financing and soon have his vehicles back on the lot. General Motors' financing arm, GMAC, seized all the vehicles starting earlier in the day.
"We'll get through it," Quinn.
The vehicles are in a GMAC holding area in Butler, Pa.
According to Columbiana County documents, the vehicles have a value of about 1.2 million.
Quinn went through the same problem six months ago. The dealership's vehicles were taken by GMAC and returned after he obtained financing to pay for them.
Under the agreement in the 2006 case, GMAC has the right to take the vehicles when it wants to.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- More than 200 illegal immigrants were arrested and three officials at a nationwide janitorial service face federal fraud and tax charges after an investigation of cleaning crews at a northern Michigan resort, government officials said.
The detainees -- mostly Mexican nationals -- who were rounded up early Thursday were working as janitors for Rosenbaum-Cunningham International Inc., or RCI, a Florida-based cleaning contractor.
RCI co-owners Richard M. Rosenbaum, 60, of Longwood, Fla.; and Edward Scott Cunningham, 43, of West Palm Beach, Fla.; and firm controller Christina A. Flocken, 59, also of Longwood, face criminal fraud, immigration and tax charges in a 23-count indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.
