ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company acquired seven dealerships and was granted one franchise in the U.S. The Company also acquired one dealership and opened one dealership for an awarded franchise in Brazil (collectively, the "2014 Acquisitions"). Aggregate consideration paid for these acquisitions totaled $309.3 million, including associated real estate. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, the Company sold five and seven dealerships, respectively, in the U.S. As a result of these dispositions, a net gain of $16.6 million and $17.3 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Aggregate consideration received for these dealerships totaled $138.8 million.
The purchase price for the 2014 Acquisitions was allocated as set forth below based upon the consideration paid and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase prices is preliminary and based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the respective acquisition date). Goodwill was assigned to the U.S. segment in the amount of $103.4 million.

The intangible franchise rights are expected to continue for an indefinite period, therefore these rights are not amortized. These intangible assets will be evaluated on an annual basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid compared to the fair value of net assets received in the acquisitions. The goodwill is related to the U.S. reportable segment and is deductible for tax purposes at September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain dealerships and the associated real estate qualified as held-for-sale. As a result, the Company classified the carrying value of all $16.9 million of the asset disposal group in prepaid and other current assets in its Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognized an asset impairment of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as the carrying amount of the disposal group exceeded the fair value less costs to sell.
In February 2013, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of UAB Motors Particpações S.A. (“UAB Motors”). At the time of acquisition, UAB Motors consisted of 18 dealerships and 22 franchises in Brazil, as well as five collision centers. As discussed in Note 1, "Interim Financial Information," in connection with this acquisition, the Company entered into arrangements that are variable interests in a VIE. The Company qualifies as the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The consolidation of the VIE into the financial statements of the Company was accounted for as a business combination. In addition to the acquisition of UAB Motors, the Company acquired certain assets of nine dealerships in the U.S. and four dealerships in the U.K. (collectively with the acquisition of UAB Motors, the "2013 Acquisitions"). In conjunction with the 2013 Acquisitions, the Company incurred $6.5 million of costs, primarily related to professional services associated with the UAB Motors transaction. The Company included these costs in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2013 Aggregate consideration paid for the 2013 Acquisitions totaled $350.2 million, including $269.9 million of cash and 1.39 million shares of the Company's common stock. The Company also assumed debt in conjunction with the 2013 Acquisitions, of which $65.1 million was contemporaneously extinguished. In conjunction with the extinguishment, the Company recognized a loss of $0.8 million that is included in Other Expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The purchase price for the 2013 Acquisitions was allocated as set forth below based upon the consideration paid and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill was assigned to the U.S., U.K. and Brazil reportable segments in the amounts of $56.2 million, $1.5 million and $130.9 million, respectively.
