Welcome to the first issue of Automotive Buy Sell Report. We are the first website and weekly online report focused on providing participants in the automotive dealership buy sell industry with news and views, listings to help you locate professional services in your area, and a way for you, as a buyer or seller, to anonymously contact someone with an expression of interest regarding the purchase or sale of a dealership or partners for dealership succession.
We provide insight from experts in the field that can help you understand trends in the dealership buy sell world and more effectively and efficiently do business. If you would like to be a contributor, please let me know.
In this first issue we talk to the two largest publically-owned dealership groups in the U.S. to learn their outlook for this year and what they look for in a dealership to purchase. Hint: It isn’t just earnings.
We also hear from people in the field about why, even in a year when there are seemingly many shoppers, more deals aren’t getting done. Connected to that, we let you know how to make sure that a letter of intent is binding.
We’re new and still figuring out how to best serve you. So leave comments, contact me with suggestions.
Yours,
Alysha Webb
