Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes in numerous U.S. states. In addition, the Company is subject to income tax in the U.K. and Brazil relative to its foreign subsidiaries. The effective income tax rate of 37.9% of pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to taxes provided for the taxable state and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the dispositions of certain dealerships with non-deductible goodwill. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's effective tax rate increased to 40.2% from 37.9% for the same period in 2012. The change was primarily due to the mix of pretax income from the taxable state jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the tax effect of acquisition costs, and the dispositions of certain dealerships with non-deductible goodwill. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits with respect to uncertain tax positions and did not incur any interest and penalties nor did it accrue any interest for the six months ended June 30, 2013. When applicable, consistent with prior practice, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Taxable years 2008 and subsequent remain open for examination by the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions.
