How Private Equity Is Buying Up Franchised Car Dealerships
Episode 65 of The Buyout Show dives into the quiet roll-up of franchised auto dealerships by private equity firms. Lucas and Luna examine the specific case of AutoNation's recent acquisition spree, the economics of buying a Toyota or Honda franchise for $50 million-plus, and why PE sees dealerships as a recession-resistant cash machine. They also discuss how the shift to electric vehicles is changing dealership valuations and why manufacturers like Ford are pushing back on consolidation. Plus: a candid moment about listener support keeping the show ad-free.
