Dear Mr. Owings:

Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests acceleration of the effectiveness of the above-referenced registration statement, as amended, to July 15, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

 

   

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Company is aware of its responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement.

Please confirm that the registration statement has been declared effective by telephoning Neil Simon of Jones Day at (404) 581-8592.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Elizabeth B. Chandler
