The dealership is the private property of a person or corporation. It has assets (things of value) and liabilities (things it owes) The money you owe the dealership is an asset. (It is something of value). The dealer can sell that asset (the note on your car, to another company, or they can sell the entire dealership to another person or company.
Dealerships are purchased and sold all the time. As long as the new owner(s) meet the requirements for licensing in the state in which the dealership is located, the sale is totally legal!
Why would you thing that they have any obligation to tell you that they were selling? Businesses are sold every day. The customers of the business have no say in the sale. The only thing they can do is if they do not like the new management is to deal elsewhere.
