       June 21 (Reuters) - 
    Auto retailer Sonic Automotive  SAH.N  said on Friday that
the ongoing CDK cyber outage had impacted its dealer management
systems.
    The announcement came as CDK's outage has entered its third
consecutive day, impacting automobile dealers across the United
States.
        Sonic said its dealerships were open, using workaround
solutions to minimize the disruption caused by the outage.
  
        The company also said it was unable to determine whether
the outage would impact its financial condition, but it did have
a "negative impact" on operations.
