ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

On May 31, 2000, United Auto Group, Inc. (the "COMPANY") issued a press release
announcing, among other things, that it has completed its change of control
offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding Series A and Series B 11%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "NOTES"). The Bank of New York acted on
behalf of UnitedAuto as agent for the tender offer. The price paid for the Notes
purchased in the offer was 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Bondholders tendered bonds with a principal amount
of $147.4 million. The funding of the repurchase was completed on May 26, 2000.

Under the terms of the Notes, UnitedAuto was required to make a change of
control offer in the event that any person's beneficial ownership of UnitedAuto
voting stock increases above 40%. Due to UnitedAuto's previously announced stock
