Exhibit 10.40

AMENDMENT TO GUARANTY

AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS

THIS AMENDMENT TO GUARANTY AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into effective as of January 1, 2005, by and between Capital Automotive L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its related affiliates referenced in the attached Schedule A (“collectively, Landlord”), and Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”).

RECITALS:

A.        Landlord, as landlord, and certain affiliates of Guarantor, as tenants, are parties to certain Lease Agreements, as amended, that are more particularly described in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Leases”).

B.        As a material inducement for Landlord to enter into the Leases, Guarantor executed certain corresponding Guaranty and Subordination Agreements (collectively referred to herein as the “Guaranties” or each individually as the “Guaranty”), also described on Schedule A, pursuant to which Guarantor guaranteed performance of all obligations of Tenants under the Leases, including but not limited to payment of rent and all other payments required under each Lease, for the benefit of Landlord.

C.        In each Guaranty, there are certain representations and warranties that the Guarantor makes to the Landlord. The Guarantor requested, and the Landlord agreed to amend the Guaranties to make certain modifications to certain financial covenants contained therein, upon the terms and conditions and as more particularly set forth herein below.

D.        Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, Guarantor and Landlord, intending legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Section 9(e) of each of the Guaranties is hereby amended by deleting Section 9(e), the “Liquidity Ratio Certification” in its entirety, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 9(e), the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” as follows:

“(e)    Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. (a) Guarantor shall provide to Landlord within forty-five days after the end of each fiscal quarter, a written calculation, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, evidencing that Guarantor has maintained a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25:1 during the past four calendar

For purposes of this Guaranty, “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” shall mean the ratio of (i) EBITDAR less capital expenditures, to (ii) the sum of (a) Interest Expense plus (b) scheduled amortization of the principle portion of all Indebtedness for money borrowed plus (c) Rentals plus (d) taxes paid in cash during such period by the Guarantor (including its consolidated Subsidiaries).
