MD Johnson, Inc. announces the completion of the sale of BMW VW and Honda dealerships in Salem Oregon on behalf of Michael O Brien, owner of O Brien Auto Group, Inc (www.obrien.com (http://www.obrien.com/)). Lithia Motors of Medford Oregon (LAD) purchased the dealerships from O Brien and will rename the dealerships after the sale. The dealerships are the only BMW, HONDA and VW dealerships in Salem. Mark Johnson, President of MD Johnson Inc previously represented Greg Rasmussen in the sale of his BMW, Mini and two Mercedes Dealerships in Portland, Wilsonville and Beaverton Oregon to Lithia. Lithia owns the Subaru dealership in Oregon City and recently opened a brand new state of the art Mercedes Benz and Mini dealership in Beaverton Oregon. O Brien is the largest retailer of Luxury vehicles in Western Washington and one the largest Lexus retailers in the US. Johnson commented that O Brien’s sale of the Salem stores to Lithia was strategic as he completes his expansion into a new VW dealership in Kirkland and the newest Honda dealership in Washington, which is under construction in Marysville, WA.
