Buying a Car Dealership in Germany – Market & Opportunities

Car retail is in transition: electromobility, manufacturers' agency sales models, and the growing used-car and service market are changing the business model. For buyers, the appeal of a car dealership often lies less in low-margin new-car sales than in the stable workshop, parts and used-car business. A dealership with a well-utilised workshop and a loyal service client base is a highly profitable business.

When buying, brand contracts, location and premises, workshop throughput, and the used-car inventory all matter. Dealer and service agreements with the manufacturer, their terms and standards, are worth checking closely. On Deal One you will find car dealerships and vehicle trading businesses from all over Germany – select your state below.

Frequently Asked Questions: Buying a Car Dealership

What does a car dealership cost to buy?

The price range is wide and depends on the brand, location, property, and the share of the higher-margin service and parts business. Valuation is usually based on an earnings multiple plus stock and, where applicable, the property.

Are the brand agreements automatically transferred?

No. Dealer and service agreements with the manufacturer are tied to specific people and standards, and require the manufacturer's approval. Whether and under what conditions the brand can continue is a key point to check.

What should I pay particular attention to with a car dealership?

The utilisation and profitability of the workshop, the service client base, the structure of the used-car inventory, and the lease or ownership status of the often large premises.
