Business DESCRIPTION AutoNation, Inc. is Americas largest retailer of both new and used vehicles. As of March 15, 2002, we owned and operated 371 new vehicle franchises from dealership locations in 17 states, predominantly in the Sunbelt. Each of our automotive franchised dealerships offers a diverse range of automotive products and services beyond new and used vehicles that includes vehicle maintenance and repair services, vehicle parts, extended service contracts, insurance products and other aftermarket products, and each also arranges financing for vehicle purchases through third-party sources. Additionally, we operate collision repair centers in most of our key markets. The vehicles we sell are manufactured by Ford, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and BMW. These manufacturers represent approximately 95% of the new vehicles that we sold in 2001. In total, we offer 35 different brands of new vehicles.
