Dealers Clay Cooley and Jason Kuhn are contrarians: They have been buying Volkswagen dealerships despite the company's slumping sales and its ongoing scandal over diesel-emissions cheating. Kuhn, president of Kuhn Automotive Group of Tampa, Fla., which already owned two VW stores, bought another in Atlanta in January 2015 and will break ground in "a few months" for a VW store in Columbus, Ohio, aiming to open it in the second quarter of 2017.
