It is true. Dealers want to know how long they can expect elevated profits and, with that, what dealership values will look like (and how dealerships will be valued).

It is an honor to have the opportunity to speak to dealers, present at auto retail conferences, and discuss auto retail trends and their impact on dealership values. One thing I am hearing more about is succession planning. Believe it or not, there are many aging dealers without what I call a "successful" succession plan. There are many who believe their children want to take over the family business, but when talking to the next-gen, they are still determining if they really do. Other owners of high-value dealerships may think there is no current need, whether it be due to age or type of ownership.
Alan Haig shares in this Automotive News article, "Aging dealers without a succession plan and dealership groups that want to grow and have a lot of cash to invest are contributing to heightened activity in buy-sells. Recent large deals (Apple Auto sold to Ciocca Automotive and South/Vista Motors sold to Morgan Auto Group) demonstrate that demand for dealerships remains strong, and sellers are still pleased with their stores' sale prices. https://bit.ly/42Fetq9

The automotive industry's consolidation trend: Bigger Dealerships, Bigger Questions Over the past decade, we've witnessed the automotive landscape shift with larger dealership groups acquiring smaller players. The stats are impressive - the top 10 dealership groups now own 8.9% of all dealerships, up from 5.3% in 2011, and their market share has risen by 31% since 2011. 2023 seems to be yet another year of growth in dealership acquisitions, led by industry giants like Lithia Motors. Lithia's aggressive expansion has propelled it to the top spot in sales, overtaking AutoNation. But what does this mean for car buyers and owners? Will they benefit from this consolidation, or could it exacerbate their challenges? On one hand, larger dealerships can streamline services and reduce costs, potentially leading to lower prices and more choices. However, with fewer independent dealerships, there's less competition, raising concerns about prices and customer experience. The data also suggests a correlation between dealership consolidation and new car price trends. While not directly causal, the two appear to develop at similar rates. In a market as unpredictable as the automotive industry, we'll have to wait and see how this trend impacts consumers. #AutomotiveIndustry #CarDealerships #DealerGenie

In a recent survey by Presidio Group, over 75% of dealership group leaders expressed interest in acquiring more stores within the next year, despite anticipating lower profits. This survey, conducted among 108 dealers representing about 2,500 new-car stores, revealed a general optimism for growth despite concerns about declining profitability and dealership values. Notably, Japanese and German car brands, such as #Toyota, #Lexus, and #Porsche, were ranked as the most desirable for dealership ownership. Dealers also expressed apprehension about factors like higher interest rates, vehicle affordability, and potential legislative changes affecting the industry. The findings indicate a complex sentiment in the auto dealership sector, balancing growth aspirations with economic uncertainties.
