FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a car dealership?
Prices vary depending on sales volume and financial performance, but the median asking price for a car dealership in the U.S. is approximately $962,375.
How much do car dealership owners earn?
Car dealership businesses vary in sales volume, but owners report median annual sales of $3,394,176 and annual owner earnings of $353,011. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a car dealership business?
Valuing a car dealership business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and macroeconomic trends. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples in the automotive dealership industry typically range from 0.16 to 0.54, with the median at 0.27. Earnings multiples range from 1.73 to 4.15, with the median at 2.93. These values suggest the average car dealership in the U.S. may sell for around 0.27 times its annual revenue, and 2.93 times its annual owner’s earnings.
