This offering presents a long-established, single-point Ford Motor Company franchise located in a growing Northern Midwest market. The dealership operates from a purpose-built facility on a high-visibility highway corridor, offering new-vehicle sales across the full light-duty line, pre-owned inventory, full-service repair, quality factory parts, and finance/insurance products. A seasoned management team and factory-trained technicians are expected to remain, ensuring immediate operational continuity and OEM-certified processes for the buyer. Recent financials show top-line revenue trending toward the high-$20 million range, with a four-year weighted average of roughly $24.7 million and average seller-discretionary earnings of about $725,000/year, supported by balanced contributions from both variable and fixed operations. Consistent profitability, solid customer-retention metrics, and service absorption hovering near the 82% mark underscore an enterprise able to cover overhead while providing upside through improved digital retailing and fleet penetration. The 11-plus-acre real-estate parcel—including showroom, service bays, and ample display/parking—may be acquired for approximately $2.0 million (subject to appraisal), giving an investor full control of the strategic location and capacity for future expansion. This turnkey platform is well-suited for regional dealer groups seeking geographic/brand diversification or a first-time operator looking for an established, successful enterprise and the brand strength of America’s top truck and SUV nameplates.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating automotive and boat business acquisitions.
Gas stations, repair shops, and car washes handle fuel, solvents, and wastewater, and remediation can run six or seven figures. A Phase I, tank records, and permit history tell you whether you're buying a business or a cleanup.
Lifts, wash tunnels, fuel systems, and lined tanks have finite lives and expensive replacements. Ask age, maintenance history, and what's been deferred.
Much of an automotive business is its corner — traffic, access, and a transferable lease. A great shop on a short or non-assignable lease is a problem you inherit.
A repair shop with a loyal service base is worth more than a lot living on deal volume. Get the repeat-customer rate, not just the top line.
Dealer licenses, certified techs, and manufacturer or fuel-brand agreements may not transfer automatically. Confirm what passes and what you must re-earn.
In smaller shops the owner is the master tech and the relationships. Identify who holds the skill and the customers and what retention looks like after close.
