Nope, still apples and oranges. Business law, and the enforcement thereof, is diferent than what would apply to consumers. Let's say that the same dealership also sold tires. I go there and buy a brand new set of tires for my truck for $1100, then 6 months later read an article in the paper that the dealership was in trouble for not paying his distributors. Does this mean that the police will come and impound the tires on my truck? No, it means that the distributor will file suit and criminal charges against the dealership. If any financial recourse is available to the distributor(s), the courts will appoint such. If not, the distributor is essentially screwed and can write off a business loss. They will not look for all the purchasers of tires, repo them, resell them, etc.
