Hot Listing
Profitable Ford Dealership - Great Lakes Region
Business Description
Proven Cash Flow with Growth Opportunities
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.

- Number of Employees
- 30
- Franchise
- This business is an established franchise
- Facilities & Assets
- The transaction includes a modern dealership facility of roughly 30,000 sq. ft. situated on ±11 acres along a high-traffic highway corridor. Built in 1998, the site combines an open glass-front showroom, fully equipped service bays with oversized doors, dedicated parts & accessories warehousing, and expansive paved display and customer parking. The parcel offers multiple entry points, surplus land that can accommodate future expansion, ancillary profit centers, or additional inventory storage.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Within the subject store’s multi-county trade area buyer choice is concentrated among three other major franchised outlets representing GM, Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram and Toyota, plus a handful of independent used-car lots and quick-service chains. Registration data show the offering’s brand currently delivers about 19% retail share versus a 29 % expected share, indicating headroom to recapture sales that presently migrate to neighboring markets or online channels.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Scale Digital Retail & Remote Sales – The store already budgets for search-engine marketing and “digital retailing” tools; deeper investment in end-to-end online buying, remote paperwork, and out-of-area delivery would widen the addressable market and lift lead volume.
Expand Commercial & Fleet Business – A dedicated fleet manager, up-fit partnerships, and targeted outreach to contractors and municipal accounts could capture under-served light-truck and van demand, unlocking OEM volume bonuses and higher parts-service throughput.
