The auto industry is in kind of a strange spot.  Due to supply chain issues, it can sometimes take months to get your new vehicle.  On the plus side, for the dealers, vehicles don't often sit on the lot for very long.

It is kind of like how the housing market was up until a few months ago.

Have you always wanted to go into the car dealer business?  This could be your opportunity.

According to the BizQuest website, an established auto dealership, with TWO Midcoast Maine locations, is for sale.

The company that owns both Searsport Motor Company and Rockland Motor Company was established in 2001  The vehicle dealerships are located in Searsport and Rockland, respectively.
