Business Description

Launched in Texas in 2018, the dealership operates like an automotive concierge service by seeking high-quality, in-demand vehicles that discriminating, value-oriented buyers will pay top dollar for. With just a $10k investment, the Seller built a revolving 30-car inventory within two years. With an inside track to the used car inventory of a nationwide dealership that auctions cars, but unlike many auction houses, allows pre-bid test drives and inspections before purchase. This enables the dealer to buy higher quality cars with less risk and greater potential for both profit and happy customers.

After purchase, all cars go to respected mechanics, then a body shop, then for a comprehensive detailing to make the car sparkle inside and out before it’s professionally photographed and posted for sale online.

Cars are posted for sale on popular sites like Craigslist, Car Gurus, Cars.com and Facebook market place with software that enables posting to multiple sites at once. Cars are also posted to the Company’s professional website and on social media.

Finding a location that was both DMV approved and acceptable by local county and city ordinances was a challenge. The Seller spent a great deal of time and money seeking the right place. It took more than a year to settle on the current configuration, which is a central business office and an offsite car lot. To someone who wants to be a private dealer or open a branch of another dealership, this is the opportunity’s great value, the Seller said.
