ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      On April 30, 1997, United Auto Group, Inc. ("UAG"), through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of the capital stock of a group of
companies which operate nine automobile dealerships and related businesses (the
"Staluppi Group"), located in West Palm Beach, Florida and Long Island, New
York, from John A. Staluppi and John A. Staluppi, Jr. The Staluppi Group is
comprised of Amity Auto Plaza Ltd., Massapequa Imports Ltd., Westbury Nissan
Ltd., Westbury Superstore Ltd., J&S Auto Refinishing Ltd., Florida Chrysler
Plymouth Jeep Eagle Inc., Palm Auto Plaza Inc., West Palm Infiniti Inc., West
Palm Nissan Inc. and Northlake Auto Finish Inc.,

      The aggregate consideration for the acquisition was approximately $50.0
million, consisting of approximately $25.0 million in cash, 127,660 shares of
UAG common stock and notes totaling approximately $22.0 million. UAG has agreed
to make an additional contingent cash payment to the extent that such shares
have an aggregate market value of less than $3.0 million on the date they
become freely tradable. The cash portion of the consideration was borrowed
under UAG's senior credit facility. The amount of consideration was arrived at
through arm's length negotiation.

      The acquired automobile dealerships own office equipment and furniture
used in the sales and administrative operations, as well as automobile
servicing equipment used in the service operations. UAG intends to continue
such use.
