Integrity Auto Sales

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">, auto sales & parts.

There is a need in Lane County for a large selection of quality used cars, and Integrity Auto Sales will sell these top-quality used vehicles at a competitive price. The owner and sales manager have over 30 years of combined experience in new and used auto sales. We will continue to develop our excellent working relationship with local dealers and auctions to bring the savings to the customer.

We will create a purchasing environment that caters to the customer’s needs. We are selling a professional service and an experience in car buying that will bring customers back again, as well as referring friends and family. We estimate an optimistic gross margin over the industry average. We will be successful because of the excellent team we have assembled and the drive and determination of the owners.

Almost everyone needs a car to get from point A to B. Many families have two or more cars. Due to the recent success of the new car market, there is a large inventory of used cars available for re-sale. New car sales have enjoyed the largest single month gain in October up 24%.

Competition

Used car dealers are notorious for unethical sales practices. Customers are inherently cautious and untrusting as a result. The more we can provide a high-quality sales experience, the more successful we will be. Our salesmen will provide a friendly and personal experience for the buyer. We will follow up and ensure customer satisfaction. We will rely on these customers for an excellent reference to other car buyers. This company will build an excellent working relationship with our suppliers and customers.

Integrity Auto Sales provides a unique car buying experience to the customers in the Willamette Valley. One that focuses on customer satisfaction first. We understand that vehicle purchasing is a necessary, but sometimes unpleasant experience. Our goal is to provide the customer with an enjoyable, honest service by satisfying individual customers practical transportation needs with a quality product.

We also believe it is important to have quality vehicles at a low cost, and will back each vehicle with a 30 day limited warranty. Our company will make a profit by generating sales. It will provide job satisfaction and fair compensation to its employees, and a fair return to its owners. Hard work and performance is rewarded through bonuses and commissions. Job satisfaction is very important for employees and owners, we will create a work environment that is enjoyable and profitable for all.

Expectations

  • Growth will be moderate to good, cash flows steady with several months of loss in the beginning
  • Marketing will remain below 10% of sales. 
  • The company will invest residual profits (10%) into financial markets and approximately 50% into company expansion for the first year.

Financial Highlights by Year

Financing needed.

We need $130,000 funding to start. That includes a $100,000 loan. Jonathan will invest $20,000 and Don will invest $10,000. 

Opportunity

Problem & solution, problem worth solving, our solution, target market, market size & segments.

Almost everyone needs a car to get from point A to B. Many families have two or more cars. Due to the recent success of the new car market, there is a large inventory of used cars available for re-sale. New car sales have enjoyed the largest single month gain in October 2001, up 24%.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Our market segmentation will consist of four basic segments; students, retired, families, and singles.

Current Alternatives

Our closest, similar competitors are AA Auto Sales, Big Apple Car Sales, Frank’s Auto Place, Guaranty, R & L Motors, and Sierra Truck, all on Hwy 99 between Eugene and Junction City.

  • The primary competitors will be those in and around Junction City. Guaranty is a large, well-established dealer, with approximately 75% of the local market share. Guaranty has a large operation with a well-trained sales staff. Our sales manager is a former Guaranty sales manager, who understands the competition’s operations very well.
  • Frank’s Auto Place offers a limited selection, and appears to be unorganized. Frank’s does not offer any competitive marketing and primarily focuses on the $1-2,000 vehicle.

Our Advantages

Keys to success.

To succeed in this business we must:

  • Put together a team of experienced professionals.
  • Secure an excellent high-traffic location.
  • Establish a network of suppliers, in order to buy and sell products that are of the highest reliability and quality, at a competitive price.
  • Ensure customer satisfaction by encouraging the two most important values, honor and integrity.
  • Create high morale by rewarding employee success with monetary compensation.

Marketing & Sales

Marketing plan.

Our marketing strategy will focus on four segments. Those segments are described in the following subtopics. We will implement a strategy that treats customers as a community. This means our marketing resources will be centered around advertising both sales promotions (events) and personal sales (customer service, friendly atmosphere).

  • The marketing budget will not exceed $6,000 per year.
  • 100% customer satisfaction, measured through repeat customers, referrals and surveys.
  • To achieve a respectable profit margin within the first three-years.
  • To achieve a healthy net profit by year two.

Build a strategy

The  retired  group will focus on practicality. Cost may be less important than quality and features. This group wants comfortable, nicely equipped vehicles at a reasonable price. They will want a vehicle that will last for years.

Families  will focus on safe, practical vehicles. Something that will last for years, can fetch groceries, carry the kids, and perform long trips. Many will be on a budget, and price may be a big factor. They will shop around and educate themselves on vehicles, shopping for a specific make or model.

The last group is the  singles . They are similar to the students in that they want flashly cool cars, but may be a working professional who can afford to pay more for a higher-quality vehicle.

Sales compensation is based on a percent of profits. We will invest adequate time and resources into training each member of the sales team and into good customer relations. Salesmen will be paid a portion of their salary based on commission. Good performance is rewarded with increased commission and bonuses. However integrity will not be sacrificed for sales. Customer satisfaction will continue to be a top priority. All potential sales will be attended to in a timely fashion and long-term salesperson-customer relationships will take precedence over sales closure.

Locations & Facilities

  • The company office is located at 12345 HWY 99, Junction City, OR 97666.
  • The office is approximately 1,000 square feet and has ample space for the first three years of growth.
  • The 20,000 square foot lot and building is leased from the principal owner.

Integrity Auto Sales sells top-quality used vehicles at a competitive price. Integrity buys pre-inspected vehicles wholesale from well known local car dealers, and auto auctions. Integrity continually maintains a diverse stock of vehicles, providing the widest selection for individual needs.

Vehicles are purchased weekly, to add to the current stock on hand. Each vehicle is thoroughly inspected by an ASE mechanic with over 25 years of experience. Only vehicles that pass this critical 26 point inspection are sold on-site.

Integrity Auto Sales sells all types of used vehicles, from sports cars to RVs. We cater to each customer individually, to satisfy their own practical needs.  We buy only the best used vehicles at or below wholesale in order to bring the savings to the customers. Each vehicle is thoroughly inspected by an ASE mechanic with over 25 years of experience. We also offer an auto finding service to customers. If we do not have the vehicle they want in stock, we will find one for them.

Milestones & Metrics

Milestones table, key metrics.

Our key metrics are: 

  • # of facebook posts and pageviews 
  • # of tweets and retweets
  • # of reps that meet and excel their quotas. 
  • cogs of our most popular cars
  • website page views and shares 
  • Follow our customers figure out their favorite cars and features 

Ownership & Structure

Integrity Auto Sales is a privately held corporation. It will be registered as a Subchapter S, with ownership 60%-Jonathan Dinsmore, 40%-Don Mazzioti.

Management Team

Integrity will start with four initial employees. The owner will manage over all operations and the sales manager will manage all buying and selling of inventory. A records clerk and lot attendant will also be hired initially.

Once the gross margin and cash flow will support it, we will hire an additional salesman and lot attendants (tentatively four to six months).

Personnel Table

Financial plan investor-ready personnel plan .">, key assumptions.

We will accept credit cards and trade-ins of any value. Credit cards will have a negative affect on cash flow in that we may not be paid for several days. Trade-ins will also impact cash flow in that they are an asset and have no real value until sold. We will have to limit the number of credit transactions, and only take in quality trades at a wholesale price to facilitate turning a quick profit. The personnel burden is very low because benefits are not paid to part-timers. And the short-term interest rate is extraordinarily low because of current market rates.

We also assume conservative earnings from selling loans and extended warranties will be made.

The other assumption is that current market conditions will remain for the next two to three years. Low rates will have a positive impact on sales and lending for the short term.

Our cash forecast is extremely unrealistic at the far end of the forecast. We leave it like that knowing that we will revise over time. We call it a cushion, and reassurance, not an accurate forecast. 

Revenue by Month

Expenses by month, net profit (or loss) by year, use of funds.

Almost 90% of start-up costs will go to assets. Start-up costs will be financed through a combination of owner’s investment, short-term loans (VA business loan), and long-term borrowing. The start-up chart shows the distribution of financing.

Other miscellaneous expenses include:

  • Legal fees for business establishment (ownership, and no sell agreement).
  • Stationary, office supplies.
  • Marketing/advertising fees.
  • Initial consultation to establish records with an accountant.
  • Rent for lot and office.
  • Establish a Web page for advertising.
  • Expensed equipment (two computers, two desk, Fax/copier, phone lines, and office furniture).
  • One month initial start-up investment in vehicles.

Sources of Funds

We will be needing $130,000 to start. $100,000 will be a long term business loan. Jonathan will give $20,000 and Don will give $10,000. 

Projected Profit & Loss

Car Dealership Business Plan: Complete Guide

  • January 11, 2023

used car dealer business plan template

Whether you’re looking to raise funding from private investors or to get a loan from a bank (like a SBA loan) for your car dealership, you will need to prepare a solid business plan.

In this article we go through, step-by-step, all the different sections you need in your car dealership business plan. Use this template to create a complete, clear and solid business plan that get you funded.

1. Executive Summary

The executive summary of a business plan gives a sneak peek of the information about your business plan to lenders and/or investors.

If the information you provide here is not concise, informative, and scannable, potential lenders and investors may lose interest.

Though the executive summary is the first and the most important section, it should normally be the last section you write because it will have the summary of different sections included in the entire business plan below.

Why do you need a business plan for your car dealership?

The purpose of a business plan is to secure funding through one of the following channels:

  • Obtain bank financing or secure a loan from other lenders (such as a SBA loan )
  • Obtain private investments from investment funds, angel investors, etc.
  • Obtain a public or a private grant

How to write an executive summary for your car dealership?

Provide a precise and high-level summary of every section that you have included in the business plan. The information and the data you include in this segment should grab the attention of potential investors and lenders immediately. Also make sure that the executive summary doesn’t exceed 2 pages.

The executive summary usually consists of the 5 main paragraphs:

  • Business overview : introduce your car dealership: what is your business model (franchise vs. independent business ; new vs. used car dealership), how many cars will you have in inventory? Are you partnering with any car manufacturer(s)? Where would your store be located? Etc.
  • Market overview : briefly analyze the car dealership industry in your area ( market size and growth), your competitors and target customers: average income of your target audience , demographic distribution, customer preferences etc.
  • Management & people : introduce the management team and their industry experience. Mention your business partner(s), if any. Also give here an overview of the different teams, roles and their reporting lines
  • Financial plan : how much profit and revenue do you expect in the next 5 years? When will you reach the break-even point and start making profits? Also include here a small chart with your key financials (revenue, net profit )
  • Funding ask : what loan/investment/grant are you seeking? How much do you need? How long will this last? How will you spend the money?

2. Business Overview

In the business overview section of your car dealership business plan, you should expand on what your company sells, to whom, and how it is structured. A few examples of questions you must answer here are:

  • The history behind the project: why did you choose to open a car dealership today?
  • Your business model : Are you franchising or is this an independent store? Are you selling new or used vehicles?
  • Products & services : What vehicles / brands do you plan to sell? Are you planning to add any additional services (e.g. car repair & checkups, etc.)
  • What is the legal structure of your company? Who are the directors / shareholders?

a) History of the Project

Briefly explain how did you come up with the plan to start a car dealership business. What motivated you to get into this business venture? 

Also try to demonstrate to investors your interest and passion for the car industry and car dealership in general.

For example, you might have worked in a car dealership and/or at a car manufacturer sales department in the past, and found immense growth potential for this type of business in your area.

used car dealer business plan template

b) Business Model

Explain in this section what business model you chose for your car dealership. Here are a few questions you must answer:

  • Will you start an independent dealership, franchise model, chain store, etc.?
  • Will you open a brand-specific dealership?
  • Would your car dealership deal in new cars, used cars, or both?
  • Do you plan to open an online dealership?
  • Would you offer service and repairs in your car dealership?

c) Products & Services

Now that we have briefly introduced what your business model is, you must explain in detail what exactly you intend to sell. There are 2 things here:

  • Products (cars): what vehicles and brands do you intend to sell? Why did you choose these vehicles / brands?
  • Services : if you offer additional services (e.g. car repairs, checkups), explain what they are

In addition to the products and services , you should also include a list of prices for each. Of course, this doesn’t need to be exact. Car prices fluctuate based on various factors. Yet, you must be able to provide a range of prices for each category (e.g. sedan, luxury cars, vans, etc.).

If you specialize in a specific brand, you can provide a list of prices per model in appendix as well.

The prices are important as they will allow investors to tie your product offering with your financial projections later on.

used car dealer business plan template

d) Legal Structure

Explain the legal structure of your nursing home in this section. Are you starting a corporation, a limited liability company, or a partnership? Who are the investors? How much equity do they actually own? Is there a board of directors? Do they have prior industry experience?

3. Car Dealership Market Overview

A complete understanding of the car dealership industry is important for the success of your business.

Therefore, you must cover here 3 important areas:

  • Status quo : how big is the car dealership industry in your area? How fast is the market growing? What are the trends fuelling this growth (or decline)?
  • Competition overview : how many car dealership competitors are there? How do they compare vs. your business? How can you differentiate yourself from them?
  • Customer analysis : what are your target customers? What are their customer preferences?

a) Status quo

When looking at the car dealership industry, try to start at the national level (US) and narrow it down to your service area (a city for example). You should answer 2 important questions here:

How big is the car dealership industry in your area?

How fast is the car dealership industry growing in your area, how big is the car dealership industry in the us.

The auto parts and car dealership industry in the US is huge: it was worth $1.18 trillion in 2021 as per the National Automobile Dealers Association . As per the same report, there were 16,676 light vehicles car dealerships in the US in 2021 which generate an average revenue of $71 million.

used car dealer business plan template

Sales are divided between new (52%) and used vehicles (37%) as well as services and parts (11%).

used car dealer business plan template

After the US, assess the size of the car wash industry in your city or area. Focus on the zone where you plan to offer your services.

Naturally, you might not be able to get the data for your specific city or region. Instead, you can estimate the size of your market, for more information on how to do it, read our article on how to estimate TAM, SAM and SOM for your startup .

Luckily, NADA publishes statistics per state so you can narrow it down easily. For your city instead, you will need to do work out some estimates. To give you an example, let’s assume you plan to operate in an area where there are already 30 car dealership businesses (in a 25 miles radius for example).

Assuming our business is based in Connecticut, we can use the state’s average annual turnover of $49,661 : we can reasonably assume that the car dealership industry is worth $1.5 million in your area . In other words, there are over 35,100 light vehicles (new and used) being sold in your area each year (assuming the average retail price of $43,000).

Now that we know your area’s market size, let’s look at growth instead.

Fortunately, you can use NADA’s number again as they publish annual reports. Just use your state’s market size growth, and explain the growth (or decline). This can be due to average car prices, or volume.

used car dealer business plan template

b) Competition overview

You should discuss both your direct and indirect competition in your business plan. Other car dealerships in the region will be your immediate competitors. Internet auctions, individual dealers, etc., will be your indirect competitors. 

In this section, you should also discuss the essential components of the business models of your main competitors. Your research should be focused on their clientele, the kinds of cars they offer, and their strengths and weaknesses .

A thorough competitive analysis is crucial as it may allow you to discover and address a customer need or preference that none of your rivals is addressing today.

Here are some of the questions that you must answer in this section:

  • How many competitors are there in the area where you want to open your car dealership?
  • Are they franchises or independent stores?
  • Do they partner with specific car manufacturers?
  • What type of cars do they offer (luxury, economy, used, new, etc.)?
  • What is the average price range of the cars they sell?
  • How many employees do they have?
  • Do they offer services and repairs?
  • Do your competitors offer buyback on the cars sold by them previously to the client?
  • What type of offers and discounts do they offer to attract customers?
  • How many cars / vehicles do they sell on average per month?

used car dealer business plan template

c) Customer analysis

Now that we have a good idea of the car dealership industry in your area as well as competition, now is time to focus on your target audience: customers.

Knowing your customer is extremely important before you get into any business. This is all the more relevant for car dealership where customer preferences and tastes are very different.

For example, if you are planning to get into a luxury car dealership business, you should look into:

  • The estimated population of high-income people in your area
  • Types of luxury cars that are in demand (hatchback, sedan, SUV, etc.)
  • Shopping preference of your target customers (online or offline)
  • How frequently do they buy (or exchange) new cars?
  • Is their buying decision influenced by offers or discounts?
  • What features do your target customers want in their new luxury cars?
  • What type of additional services do they expect from their dealers?

4. Sales & Marketing Strategy

This is the section of your business plan where you outline your customer acquisition strategy. Try to answer the following questions:

  • What are the different marketing strategies you will use?
  • What are your Unique Selling Points (USPs)? In other words, how do you differentiate from your competitors?
  • How do you intend to track the success of your marketing strategy ?
  • What is your CAC or customer acquisition cost?
  • What is your marketing budget?

What marketing channels do car dealerships use?

A few marketing channels that car dealership businesses typically use are:

  • Signage, billboards
  • PPC ads, Facebook ads, etc.
  • Print media
  • Loyalty programs
  • Online local listing (Google Business)
  • Content marketing (share content like vehicle maintenance tips, safe driving tips, etc.) on platforms like blogs, social media, etc.
  • Word of mouth, recommendations

You must have a fair and nearly accurate estimate of your marketing budget. Therefore, make sure to budget for marketing accordingly in your financial projections.

used car dealer business plan template

What are your Unique Selling Propositions (USPs)?

In other words, how do you differentiate yourself vs. competitors? This is very important as you might need to win customers from competitors.

A few examples of USPs are:

  • Products: you may be the exclusive distributor or a car make in your area for example
  • Services : you may offer repairs and regular checkups for your customers
  • Location : you store is closer to a busy road and/or to where your customers live

Your USPs will depend on your business model, competitor analysis, and target audience. Whatever your USPs are, it should appeal to your potential customers and attract them.

5. Management & People

You must address 2 things here:

  • The management team and their experience/track record
  • The organizational structure: the different team members and who reports to whom

Small businesses often fail because of managerial weaknesses. Thus, having a strong management team is vital. Highlight the experience and education of senior managers that you intend to hire to oversee your car dealership.

Describe their duties, responsibilities, and roles. Also, highlight their previous experience and explain how they succeeded in their previous roles.

Organization Structure

Even if you haven’t already hired a VP of sales, sales managers, support staff and any other relevant staff members, you must provide a chart of the organizational structure outlining the different teams, roles and their reporting lines.

used car dealer business plan template

6. Financial Plan

The financial plan is perhaps, with the executive summary, the most important section of any business plan.

Indeed, a solid financial plan tells lenders that your business is viable and can repay the loan you need from them. If you’re looking to raise equity from private investors, a solid financial plan will prove them your car dealership is an attractive investment.

There should be 3 sections to your financial plan section:

  • Your historical financials (only if you already operate the business and have financial accounts to show)
  • The startup costs of your project (if you plan to start a new car dealership, or purchase new inventory, expand your store, etc.)
  • The 5-year financial projections

a) Historical Financials (if any)

In the scenario where you already have some historical financials (a few quarters or a few years), include them. A summary of your financial statements in the form of charts e.g. revenue, gross profit and net profit is enough, save the rest for the appendix.

If you don’t have any, don’t worry, most new businesses don’t have any historical financials and that’s ok. If so, jump to Startup Costs instead.

b) Startup Costs

Before we expand on 5-year financial projections in the following section, it’s always best practice to start with listing the startup costs of your project. For a car dealership, startup costs are all the expenses you incur before you open your shop and starting making sales. These expenses typically are:

  • The lease deposit for the commercial space you rent (if you don’t buy it)
  • The design and renovation of the existing facilities
  • The inventory costs (the initial stock of vehicles you must buy to sell them at opening)

For example, let’s assume you want to buy 30 light vehicles as a start for inventory, and you take on a loan where you need to put down 15% upfront. Now, assuming these vehicles each cost $50,000 on average, this means you must put down $300,000 yourself. This comes in addition with any other startup cost mentioned above (lease deposit, renovation costs, etc.).

c) 5-Year Financial Projections

In addition to startup costs, you will now need to build a solid 5-year financial model as part of your business plan for your car dealership .

Your financial projections should be built using a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel or Google Sheets) and presented in the form of tables and charts in your business plan.

As usual, keep it concise here and save details (for example detailed financial statements, financial metrics, key assumptions used for the projections) for the appendix instead.

Your financial projections should answer at least the following questions:

  • How much revenue do you expect to generate over the next 5 years?
  • When do you expect to break even?
  • How much cash will you burn until you get there?
  • What’s the impact of a change in pricing (say 20%) on your margins?
  • What is your average customer acquisition cost?

You should include here your 3 financial statements (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement). This means you must forecast:

  • The number of vehicles you sell over time ;
  • Your expected revenue ;
  • Operating costs to run the business ;
  • Any other cash flow items (e.g. capex, debt repayment, etc.).

When projecting your revenue, make sure to sensitize pricing and the number of customers as a small change in these assumptions will have a big impact on your revenues.

used car dealer business plan template

7. Funding Ask

This is the last section of the business plan of your car dealership. Now that we have explained what type of vehicles your company sells to whom and at what price, but also what’s your marketing strategy, where you go and how you get there, this section must answer the following questions:

  • How much funding do you need?
  • What financial instrument(s) do you need: is this equity or debt, or even a free-money public grant?
  • How long will this funding last?
  • Where else does the money come from? If you apply for a SBA loan for example, where does the other part of the investment come from (your own capital, private investors?)

If you raise debt:

  • What percentage of the total funding the loan represents?
  • What is the corresponding Debt Service Coverage Ratio ?

If you raise equity

  • What percentage ownership are you selling as part of this funding round?
  • What is the corresponding valuation of your business?

Use of Funds

Any business plan should include a clear use of funds section. This is where you explain how the money will be spent.

Will you spend most of the loan / investment to acquire the cost for the inventory (the vehicles)? Or will it cover mostly the cost of buying the land and building the store?

Those are very important questions you should be able to answer in the blink of an eye. Don’t worry, this should come straight from your financial projections. If you’ve built solid projections like in our car dealership financial model template , you won’t have any issues answering these questions.

For the use of funds, we recommend using a pie chart like the one we have in our financial model template where we outline the main expenses categories as shown below.

With our competitive prices and world-class customer service, we plan to be the #1 Toyota dealer in the Albuquerque area in the next five years.

Wilson Toyota is led by Dylan Wilson who has extensive sales experience, including selling used cars for a previous employer. His experience and knowledge make him the perfect candidate to run a Toyota franchise.

Wilson Toyota will also have a service center to help Toyota owners with routine maintenance, repairs, recalls, and part replacements. Additionally, Wilson Toyota will offer financing and insurance options for customers with all credit scores.

Customer Focus

We will offer budget vehicles to those who only need a basic model as well as luxury vehicles to those who have the disposable income to purchase something high-end.

Management Team

Wilson Toyota is led by Dylan Wilson who has been in sales for 20 years. Dylan Wilson has sold products in numerous industries, with his most recent experience being at a competitor dealership. Dylan Wilson is a car aficionado. He knows everything about the most popular models and how to find the perfect vehicle for every customer. His experience and knowledge make him the perfect candidate to run a Toyota franchise.

While Dylan Wilson has never run a dealership himself, he has worked in the industry for years. As such Dylan Wilson has an in-depth knowledge of the dealerships industry, including the operations side (e.g., running day-to-day operations) and the business management side (e.g., staffing, marketing, etc.).

Success Factors

Wilson Toyota will be able to achieve success by offering the following competitive advantages:

  • Location: Wilson Toyota’s location is near the center of town, giving us access to thousands of residents, local office workers, and passersby shopping in the city.
  • Great service at an affordable price: The complete array of auto services offered by Wilson Toyota is comprehensive, and Wilson Toyota will offer these services at a much more affordable price.

Company Overview

Who is wilson toyota, wilson toyota’s history.

Dylan Wilson incorporated Wilson Toyota as an S-Corporation in February 2023. The business is currently being run out of Dylan’s private office, but once the build-out on Wilson Toyota’s commercial location is finalized, all operations will be run from there.

Since incorporation, the company has achieved the following milestones:

  • Found commercial space and signed Letter of Intent to purchase it
  • Developed the company’s name, logo, and website
  • Hired an architect to design the showroom
  • Determined equipment and inventory requirements

Wilson Toyota’s Services

Industry analysis.

Wilson Toyota competes against other new and used car dealerships, as well as online-only auto dealers and private consumer sales. The major trend in auto sales is that more people are purchasing vehicles online rather than through a salesperson. To meet this challenge, Wilson Toyota will offer flexible online purchasing through our website.

Even though the industry is changing, it is still growing and remaining profitable. According to Mordor Intelligence, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% over the next five years. Even with the increasing demand for public transportation and cleaner forms of transportation, vehicles are still an essential purchase for most Americans.

According to a report by the National Automobile Dealers Association, the car dealership industry is a fragmented one, as the majority of operators are single-location businesses and employ fewer than 20 people. The market is estimated to grow to over $1 trillion in five years. Since there are no truly dominant competitors, barriers to entry are not as high as in many other industries, and a start-up can expect to have success in this growing market, Wilson Toyota is well-positioned for success. There is plenty of room in the industry particularly for conveniently located dealerships that cater to specific demographic trends and demands. In this industry, size does not necessarily mean an advantage, which bodes well for Wilson Toyota.

Customer Analysis

Demographic profile of target market.

Wilson Toyota will serve the residents of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the immediately surrounding areas as well as those who work in the area.

The area we serve is populated mostly by middle-class Millennials; as a result, they have the means to pay for higher-quality vehicles. Further, many are looking to transition to hybrid or electric vehicles, and middle-class earners are the primary demographic for these types of vehicles.

Customer Segmentation

Wilson Toyota will primarily target the following customer profiles:

  • Professionals

Competitive Analysis

Direct and indirect competitors.

Wilson Toyota will face competition from other companies with similar business profiles. A description of each competitor company is below.

Gibson Toyota

Gibson Toyota’s goal is to give its customers the best possible experience online and at its physical store. The professional and fun-loving sales team is committed to its customers’ complete satisfaction. Gibson Toyota prides itself on building relationships with its customers throughout all phases of the automotive journey whether it’s sales, service, or parts. Gibson Toyota provides auto sales and services for both new Toyotas and used cars.

While we expect that Gibson Toyota will continue to thrive. But since it is located in the next city, we expect more and more customers will frequent Wilson Toyota based on proximity and competitive prices we offer.

Johnson Auto

Johnson Auto is an independent used car dealership specializing in certified pre-owned vehicles. The team believes that the car-buying process should be as hassle-free as possible. The team takes pride in serving its customers to the fullest. The service center is one of the best in the area, and the team strives to get its customers back on the road as soon as possible. Johnson Auto maintains a convenient online parts inventory, and if a customer can’t find what they want there, the team will help them find what they are looking for. At Johnson Auto, the team is willing to answer each and every question a customer might have during the car buying process.

Wilson Toyota has several advantages over Johnson Auto, in that it specializes in selling and servicing one make of vehicle. Wilson Toyota will provide these specialized services at an affordable price point.

Foster’s Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram

Foster’s Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram offers both new and used inventory, as well as providing service for these makes. The dealership also retails auto parts and accessories. This location also participates in Toyota Rent a Car, in which new Toyotas are rented by the day. Camrys rent for $48.50 per day and Corollas rent for $37.80 per day.

Foster’s Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram offers some services which are unique to the area, and thus we expect it will continue to draw a large clientele. However, because many of its services are geared toward a rental clientele, we expect to draw buyers who seek the same level of support.

Competitive Advantage

Wilson Toyota will be able to offer the following advantages over its competition:

  • Relationships: Having lived in the community for 25 years, Dylan Wilson knows all of the local leaders, newspapers, and other influencers. As such, it will be relatively easy for Wilson Toyota to build brand awareness and an initial customer base.

Marketing Plan

Wilson Toyota will offer a unique value proposition to its clientele:

  • Convenient location
  • Large inventory of new and used vehicles
  • Highly trained specialists

The promotions strategy for Wilson Toyota is as follows:

Commute Advertising

Website & SEO Marketing

The company will utilize the website and SEO to attract new customers. The website will be easy to navigate and provide all the information and pictures needed to show our dealership and the vehicles we sell. The SEO strategy will also be managed to ensure that anyone searching for new Toyota vehicles will see our company listed at the top of the Bing or Google search engines.

Social Media Marketing

Social media is one of the most cost-effective and practical marketing methods for improving brand visibility. The company will use social media to develop engaging content, such as educational content about vehicles and customer reviews that will increase audience awareness and loyalty. Engaging with prospective clients and business partners on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn will also help understand changing customer needs.

Advertisement

Steps to Start Used Car Dealership Business

1. Industry Overview

Players in the used car dealership industry sell used cars and they may fall into any of the following niche areas; brick and mortar used cars dealership shop, online used cars dealership shop, used luxury cars dealership business and multi – brand and multi – maker used car dealers.

Recent statistics have it that the total annual revenue for used car dealership in the united states of America is US0 billion with an annual growth of 2.4 percent.

With massive annual sales of nearly US$370 billion, one can confidently say that the used vehicle dealership industry represents almost half of the United States’ auto retail market and it is of course the largest retail segment of the U.S. economy.

For instance, in 2005, approximately 44 million used cars were sold in the United States, which is more than double that of the nearly 17 million new cars sold. The average price of used cars in the United States is $8,786. The industry has 127,940 registered car dealership businesses that employ a total of 237,788 people.

In the United States used car dealership market, the top four major players account for less than 20.0 percent of industry revenue in 2015, with the biggest used car dealer, CarMax dealership, generating about 12.6 percent of revenue. Recent findings also indicate that the industry concentration has increased over the last five years prior to 2015.

The automotive industry with reference to used car dealership is indeed flourishing because more and more consumers are becoming aware of the need to cut unnecessary spending as it relates to purchasing cars, insurance policies and also the need to sell used cars as fast as possible.

Some of the factors that encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to venture into opening a used car dealership shop is the fact that the amount needed to start the business especially when you choose to start a small shop is not on the high side compared to other small – scale businesses.

That makes it easier for entrepreneurs who are interested in the business to come into the industry at any time; the entry barriers are quite affordable and any serious-minded entrepreneur can comfortably raise the startup capital without collecting loans from the bank especially if they can convince owners of used cars who are willing to sell their cars to drop the cars with them while they source for buyers.

Lastly, a used car dealership business might not be entirely easy to start, but one thing is certain, it is a straightforward business that can generate huge and steady profits if well positioned and properly managed.

People often think that starting this type of business does not require any professional skills; in as much as it is true, you would still need a good knowledge of automobiles, good business and bargaining skills and of course customer services skills if indeed you want to build a profitable business.

Our intention of opening just one outlet of our used car dealership in Spruce, Chestnut and Walnut Streets – Philadelphia is to test run the business for a period of 2 to 5 years to know if we will invest more money, expand the business and then open other outlets in other cities in the United States.

We are quite aware that there are several used car dealership garages all over Philadelphia and even in the same location where we intend locating ours, which is why we are following the due process of establishing a business. We know that if a proper SWOT analysis is conducted for our business, we will be able to position our business to maximize our strength, leverage on the opportunities that will be available to us, mitigate our risks and be welled equipped to confront our threats.

Jason Hyacinth® Used Car Dealership, Inc. employed the services of an expert HR and Business Analyst with bias in car dealership business to help us conduct a thorough SWOT analysis and to help us create a Business model that will help us achieve our business goals and objectives. This is a summary of the SWOT analysis that was conducted for Jason Hyacinth® Used Car Dealership, Inc.;

Our location, business model (we will operate both a physical garage and online store), varieties of payment options, wide range of used cars from different manufacturing brands and models and our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for Jason Hyacinth® Used Car Dealership, Inc. So also, our team of highly qualify staff is also a plus for us.

A major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new used car dealership garage in Philadelphia and we don’t have the financial capacity to compete with multi – million dollars used car garages when it comes to retailing at a rock bottom prices.

  • Opportunities:

The fact that we are going to be operating our used car garage in a corner piece property along a major road close to one of the largest residential estates in Spruce, Chestnut and Walnut Streets – Philadelphia provides us with unlimited opportunities to sell our used cars to a large number of individuals and corporate organizations.

We have been able to conduct thorough feasibility studies and market survey and we know what our potential clients will be looking for when they visit our used car garage.

Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is economic downturn. It is a fact that economic downturn affects purchasing/spending power. Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of a new used car dealership outlet in the same location where ours is located and even online. So also, unfavorable government policies may also pose a threat to businesses such as ours.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

The future of a business lies in the number of loyal customers that they have, the capacity and competence of their employees, their investment strategy and the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business, then it won’t be too long before the business close shop.

One of our major goals of starting Jason Hyacinth® Used Car Dealership, Inc. is to build a business that will survive off its own cash flow without injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running.

I’m a Car Salesperson: Here Are 6 Ways To Save Money at the Dealership

A fter a couple years of car dealers being able to successfully sell vehicles on their lots well above sticker price because of low inventory and lack of competition, the tide has turned. As of March 2023, inventory is back up and dealer incentive and savings programs have returned too. That means there are opportunities to get a good deal on a vehicle.

Be Aware: 10 New Cars To Avoid Buying in 2024

Try This: How To Get $340 Per Year in Cash Back on Gas and Other Things You Already Buy

To get some insider tips, GOBankingRates turned to the advice of a 24-year veteran in the car sales industry, Mike Davenport, owner of Mike’s Car Store . Davenport has been on social media since 2010, teaching people how to negotiate car deals and wade through red tape.

Before you start car shopping, check out these six ways to save money at the dealership , courtesy of Davenport.

Plan To Buy Local

Davenport said that you should start by finding a vehicle at a local dealership that you’re interested in buying. Next, look at other dealerships up to 100 or so miles from your area and find three to five more vehicles of the same make and model with the same equipment.

He said to save the data you gather on each of those vehicles, so you can use it as a negotiating tool at your local dealership. 

Get the Salesperson Interested in Landing Your Business

Next, according to Davenport, you should have a conversation with a salesperson or the sales manager at the local dealership that has the vehicle you want. He said you should say to the salesperson, “I want to keep my business local — do you want me to keep my business local?” Davenport said the reason for this question is to get a “yes.” 

“They’re always going to say yes,” he said. “That’s when you say ‘awesome,’ and you reiterate that you’re going to do all of your vehicle service needs […] at the dealership.”

Davenport said that’s also the time to bring up the other dealers you researched that have comparable vehicles. He said to say, “Listen, I did look at a couple [of] other vehicles, and I like them just as much as I like yours, but you’re local to me. Do you want me to keep my business local?”

He said that he knows you will be repeating yourself, but it’s very good to get the salesperson or sales manager saying ‘yes’ over and over and over again. He said that dealerships are unwilling to lose potential buyers because they know you’ll probably never come back once you walk away. 

Never Tell a Dealership You’re Paying Cash

Davenport said you should never tell the salesperson that you’re paying cash for the vehicle you want to buy because it will lessen your chances of getting the best deal possible. Dealers might reduce the purchase price of the car if they think they can make up the difference in financing. But if you say you are paying cash — or even going through your bank for financing — that option is unavailable to them.

If you have been pre-approved for financing through your bank, and you want to disclose that fact, you can tell the salesperson that you might be interested in financing through the dealer, Davenport said. That will leave the dealer with the hope that it can make some money through financing, and it might be willing to discount the purchase price of the car to get your business. 

Trade In Your Vehicle

Davenport recommends getting trade-in offers from several different dealerships, which can help you negotiate the best price for your trade-in vehicle. However, he cautioned that you should avoid trading in your car at dealers that have no interest in the make and model. For example, he said,  if you have a Toyota Corolla, don’t expect to get the best value for your trade-in at a Lexus dealership because it will likely give you the lowest amount possible and resell it at an auction to recoup what it paid for it. 

 He also said to consider listing your vehicle on Facebook Marketplace for the highest trade-in value or the lowest private party offer and see if any dealerships contact you to earn your business.

Negotiate Each Part of the Deal Separately

Davenport said to get the best deal, you have to negotiate each thing separately.”You do not interlace them,” he said. “You stay focused like a laser beam […], and when you’re happy with the price of the car, you move on to the trade. When you’re happy with the trade, you move on to financing — and after that is when you know you’ve got a great deal.”

Hire a Car-Buying Advocate

If you don’t feel you’re up to the task of negotiating each part of the deal separately, Davenport said a car-buying advocate will do all the legwork for you, including locating the car you want and negotiating the best deal. The only thing you’ll have to do, he said, is sign the papers. 

You will have to pay a fee to a car-buying advocate. One service, Car Buyer’s Advocate, charges $500 plus $100 for each trade to negotiate the best deal. However, some services charge between $1,000-$2,000 or $100-$200 per hour.

Car Buyer’s Advocate states that people can lose $2,000-$10,000 when buying a car on their own, so a fee of $500 (or even a little more) might be well worth it. The company states that the average savings on a new car when using its service is 18% under MSRP. And the average savings on a used car is 25% under retail.

If you decide to hire a service to help you negotiate the best deal on a vehicle, make sure it’s a car-buying advocate. Car-buying advocates charge a fee and offer services that work in your best interest. Car-buying services, however, are typically in cahoots with car dealerships and receive payments for generating leads. These services are not interested in helping you negotiate the best deal possible.
