AGERE - Pronounced "AH-geh-reh" Comes From The Latin Word "To Drive"
Our vision is to provide a unique solution for owners looking to sell their business, while growing and nurturing a premier network of luxury-only dealerships in the United States.
Driven By Innovation
Founded on experience and transparency, we deliver a new paradigm for automotive dealership acquisition. Our goal is to enhance and simplify the sale for owners, giving them the time to focus on their next stage in life or as an ambassador of the dealership. At Agere Automotive we are deeply committed to our customers we serve, whether it is the auto dealer owner looking to sell their business or the consumer's we serve in each community we own dealerships.
Built By Owners For Owners
Our track record of operating some of the most successful luxury car dealerships in the United States, including turning around under- performing dealerships is second to none. Agere Automotive is built by owners who have operated dealerships, not just negotiated the purchase. We are the personalized alternative to selling to the industry status quo.
Your Partner Dealership Sales Succession
Agere Automotive leverages longstanding relationships with luxury car manufacturers and a team with extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions in the sector. Our sales path provides a unique succession opportunity to single rooftop dealerships ready for transition.
Unique Challenges In Dealership Transactions
Selling an automobile dealership is unlike any other business transaction. The process is complex, involving various departments, relationships with manufacturers, dealer-specific tax provisions, types of assets, and value determination methods. We understand these challenges and help you prepare for a smooth transaction.
Business Exit Planning: Essential Strategies For Owners
Planning the exit or transition of your business is one of the most important decisions you will make as an owner. There are numerous considerations, including the value of your company, how and when to inform key staff, who will manage the transition, and how the transaction will affect the culture of the combined businesses. Agere Automotive works with owners to put all the pieces in place.
Understanding Dealership Value
We understand several factors impact a dealership’s value. These factors include historic performance, facility compliance, location, market conditions, economic indicators, earnings growth potential, brand strength, competitive environment, customer relationships, reputation, digital marketing presence, manufacturer’s product pipeline, and dealer relationships. To accurately determine value, we examine the above items, not to mention each department in a dealership.
The Team and The Culture
New and used vehicle sales departments
Parts departments
The dealership's established reputation and community
Service departments and body shops
Financing departments

Business Assets Value
Selling a dealership involves negotiating various business assets, which can significantly impact the tax outcome. Agere Automotive understands it is not always the fixed assets, real estate and inventory, but corporate and personal goodwill that may affect the valuation.
