Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 10. Acquisitions On June 10, 2013, we acquired the inventory, property, equipment and intangible assets and assumed certain liabilities of OB Salem Auto Group, Inc. in Salem, Oregon from Michael O’Brien. This acquired company contributed revenues of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the acquisitions in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

These amounts have been calculated by applying our accounting policies and estimates. The results of the acquired stores have been adjusted to reflect the following: depreciation on a straight-line basis over the expected lives for property, plant and equipment; accounting for inventory on a specific identification method; and recognition of interest expense for real estate financing related to stores where we purchased the facility. No nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisitions are included in the reported pro forma revenues and earnings. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. No portion of the purchase price was paid with our equity securities. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the acquisition and the amount of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
|  | Consideration |
Cash paid, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 31,786 |
|  | Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed |
Inventories |  | $ | 15,198 |
Franchise value |  |  | 4,036 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 4,697 |
Other assets |  |  | 122 |
Other liabilities |  |  | (533 | )
|  |  | 23,520 |
Goodwill |  |  | 8,266 |
|  | $ | 31,786 |
We account for franchise value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. We expect the full amount of the goodwill recognized to be deductible for tax purposes.
