Does anyone have any experience purchasing a dealership of any sort?

Hi all, I’m exploring the possibility of purchasing a dealership—this could be in any sector (auto, equipment, boats, franchise, etc.) and I’m hoping to learn from others who’ve gone through this process. If you’ve had any experience acquiring a dealership or even considered it seriously, I’d really appreciate hearing about: 1) What type of dealership you looked into or acquired 2) What the buying process was like (e.g. due diligence, financing, negotiations) 3) Any major challenges or red flags you encountered 4) Things you wish you’d known before starting 5) Any tips or resources that helped you Feel free to respond here or DM me. I'm grateful for any insights, big or small! Thanks in advance!
