Month: September 2026

Floorplan rates aren’t dropping this year, and the buy/sell market has never been more competitive — public groups and PE-backed platforms are bidding against you with balance-sheet cash most independent owners don’t have. Meanwhile, the most valuable asset on your books isn’t moving inventory. It’s the ground your store sits on.

According to Performance Brokerage Services’ Q2 2026 market report, as covered by CDG News, real estate can represent 40–70% of the total transaction value in a typical dealership sale today. For most owners, that’s the majority of what the business is worth—and unlike blue sky, it’s financeable right now, without waiting for a buyer.

That’s the business Legacy Automotive Capital is in. LAC works exclusively with dealership real estate — buy/sell, investment sale, partner buyout, and sale-leaseback.

According to the 2026 Kerrigan OEM Survey Results, it appears that this year will be a highly active Buy/Sell market.

88% of OEM executives expect buy/sell activity to hold steady or accelerate over the next 12 months (53% expect the same level, 35% see more deals), pointing to a robust and likely growing buy/sell market.

Legacy and Hunter Durant teamed up for a Gentleman’s Game of golf at the Phildelphia Cricket Club.

Great day out on the course with Tripp Traynor, Jack Miles, TJ Doyle, and Todd Marcelle.
