Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]			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 Company's effective income tax rate of 32.6% and 34.3% of pretax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the mix of pretax income between our U.S and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the tax impact of a dealership disposition in Brazil, partially offset by taxes provided for in U.S. state jurisdictions and valuation allowances provided for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in certain U.S states and in Brazil. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company's effective tax rate decreased to 32.6% and 34.3%, respectively, as compared to 37.2% and 37.4% for the same periods in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the mix effect resulting from proportionately more pretax income generated in the Company's U.K. region, as well as changes to valuation allowances provided for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in certain U.S. states and in Brazil, in addition to the tax impact of a dealership disposition in Brazil during the period ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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, 2016. When applicable, consistent with prior practice, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Taxable years 2011 and subsequent remain open for examination by the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions.
