Project KOWALSKI - A Market-Proven, Manufacturer-Independent Car Dealership

A market-proven, manufacturer-independent car dealership with stable profitability, a good micro-location, and excellent macro-connectivity. Full-service car dealership with 30 years of market presence: Established over 30 years ago, the dealership is positioned as a multi-brand automotive specialist with a focus on Opel. Its broad range of services includes new and used cars, an in-house master auto repair shop, a tire business, financing, vehicle rentals, and vehicle reconditioning. Strong base of regular and frequent customers: Approximately 60% of customers are regulars (up to the 7th year of ownership), and 700 tire storage contracts—each requiring two mandatory service visits per year—ensure predictable, recurring business volume independent of the new-car business. Countercyclical used-car purchasing as a differentiator: The company utilizes established sourcing channels—including international ones when necessary—to purchase vehicles countercyclically and with high margins. Vehicle financing is funded entirely from the company’s own cash flow—no bank debt. Future-proof infrastructure and electric mobility: Four employees with electric vehicle certification, 110 kW of charging capacity from the grid, and a 110 kW photovoltaic system position the company as a partner well-prepared for the transition to electric mobility. Flexible transition phase facilitated by the seller: The seller and managing partner is interested in a medium- to long-term transition phase—and would be happy to serve as managing director if desired.

Kleiner Mercedesgebrauchtwagenhandel seit 1967

Die Firma habe ich vor 58 Jahren gegründet. Vor 20 Jahren gab es einen Umzug in eine schöne 330 Quadratmeter große Garage und um den Verkauf zu modernisieren habe ich auf das Internet umgestellt, die Kunden werden durch mobile.de und Scout 24 erreicht. Dadurch müssen Sie nicht anwesend sein und können auch ohne Mitarbeiter mit Ihrem Handy arbeiten, die Kunden kommen nach Terminvereinbarung. In den vielen Jahren des Handelns gab es Kunden aus ganz Deutschland und aus dem Ausland. Viele Kunden haben auf Grund der ausgezeichneten Bewertungen und der Höchstzahl von 5 Punkten, mit denen die Käufer bei mobile.de und Scout24.de die Firma in allen Jahren immer bewertet haben, ungesehen gekauft. Das ausgezeichnete Image das die Firma Deutschland- und Europaweit erhalten hat, bekam sie auch durch Berichte im der VOX TV Sendung auto mobil, sowie Presse, Filme bei You Tube. Auch Mercedes in Stuttgart wurde aufmerksam und schickte den besten Autoreporter Matthias Malmedie in meine Garage. Den Film hatten sich auf dem You Tube Kanal von Mercedes gleich am 1. Tag fast 200.000 Leute angesehen. Das war natürlich auch allerbeste Reklame für die Firma. Der Übernamepreis für den im Handelsregister eingetragenen Firmennamen und die Garage beträgt 10.000,-,-€ netto und dazu kommt ein Mercedes Oldtimer 450 SEL (Classic Data Gutachten mit Zustand 2, Wert 25.000,-€) für 17.950,- €. Natürlich können Sie auch jedes Auto aller anderen Automarken bestens verkaufen.

This is an established car dealership with over 30 years of experience and a solid customer base in the commercial sector. The company now holds a market share of approximately 50% in electric vehicles (fully electric + plug-in hybrids). The combination of an outstanding reputation, solid finances, and a family-run management style based on mutual respect makes all the difference. Annual revenue in 2025 exceeded €12.5 million. Sales are now focused on commercial vehicles, with electric vehicles accounting for nearly 50% of the total. The dealership stands out thanks to a strongly established market presence and an excellent reputation in the industry. It has a stable, highly qualified, and motivated team. The current shareholder is willing to support the transition process for up to two years following the sale. A second level of management has already been established. This makes the company an attractive asset for investors and corporate groups as well. The company is being sold as a share deal as part of a succession plan due to the owner’s retirement. A property that has already been paid for is included. The total lot area is approximately 8,500 square meters, providing ample space.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
