Sabadash III, vice president of AutoNation Inc., the company was described as "America"™s largest automotive retailer, currently owning and operating 360 new vehicle franchises from coast to coast. AutoNation has sold over 11 million vehicles, the first automotive retailer to reach this milestone."
