Hi acer666..

I have the top 500 dealers based upon revenue and shows the dealers,
the number of units sold both in new and used cars, total F&I numbers,
the service revenue broken down by parts, body work.  It is in PDF
form and does not have contact details.  I can give the source of the
list and you can view or download it.  If you want contact information
for each dealer, that will take a considerable amount of time and you
may want to reprice your question to cover the amount of work requried
for the research.  If you are looking only for the list with the
numbers that it contains, let me know and I can answer your question.

Contact information for each dealership is not included as you
mentioned that you may follow up with another question due to the
great amount of work and time this involves to research.

An individual search for the website of each dealership would have to
be carried out in order to find the contact information for each one.
