Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 18, 2011, Elizabeth B. Chandler, the Vice President and General Counsel of Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., entered into a sales plan (the "Chandler Plan") pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Commencing on December 19, 2011, Ms. Chandler's broker may sell up to a certain number of shares of the Company's common stock at specified minimum market prices upon the exercise of options through April 25, 2012, unless the Chandler Plan terminates at an earlier date in accordance with its terms.

In August 2011, Ms. Chandler announced her resignation from the Company and executed a transition agreement with the Company pursuant to which she agreed to remain employed with the Company through February 28, 2012. Specific sales transactions under the Chandler Plan executed prior to Ms. Chandler's departure date with the Company will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
