Auto Dealership Capital Advisors in Kentucky

Pointe Automotive is a leading capital investment advisory firm serving automotive dealers throughout Kentucky. Our mission is to help dealership owners unlock equity, defer taxes, and maximize value through strategic real estate solutions. With a focus on 1031 Exchanges, Sale-Leasebacks, and M&A Support, we deliver tailored guidance that empowers dealers to navigate major financial decisions with clarity and confidence.

Kentucky has a rich automotive history, playing a key role in U.S. vehicle manufacturing and distribution. Home to major plants for Toyota, Ford, and General Motors, the state has long supported a strong network of franchised dealerships and independent operators. Its central location, skilled labor force, and transportation infrastructure have made cities like Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and Owensboro vital to the growth of the automotive sector. Pointe Automotive helps Kentucky dealers capitalize on this environment by aligning operational goals with long-term real estate and investment strategies.

1031 Exchange Replacement Property Advisors

Pointe Automotive specializes in helping dealers leverage the benefits of 1031 Exchanges to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of dealership or automotive real estate. As your strategic advisor, we help you identify and acquire replacement properties that align with your financial objectives—often within the automotive sector or other income-producing real estate.

We work hand-in-hand with your CPA, legal counsel, and financial advisors to ensure the exchange is compliant, timely, and tailored to your overall wealth plan. Whether you’re transitioning ownership, exiting the business, or repositioning your investment portfolio, our guidance ensures your equity continues to work for you long after the sale.

Unlocking Real Estate Value Through Sale-Leasebacks

A sale-leaseback is one of the most effective tools for Kentucky dealers to access capital while continuing to operate without disruption. By selling your dealership property and leasing it back under long-term terms, you can unlock liquidity for growth, succession planning, or debt reduction—without giving up control of your business.

We assist dealers in markets across the state, from Northern Kentucky and the Bluegrass region to Western cities like Paducah and Hopkinsville. Pointe Automotive structures sale-leasebacks that are designed for operational continuity, favorable lease terms, and maximum property value. Our relationships with automotive-focused investors help ensure competitive pricing and a smooth process from start to finish.

M&A Support for Privately Held Dealerships

Privately held and family-owned dealerships require specialized support when navigating mergers, acquisitions, and succession events. Pointe Automotive provides real estate-focused M&A Support that complements the work of your legal and financial advisors. We bring deep expertise in dealership valuations, real estate underwriting, and strategic positioning to ensure the property component of every transaction is maximized.

We support CPAs, attorneys, and dealership operators with clear documentation, market insight, and negotiation support. Whether you’re selling a single rooftop or transitioning a multi-store operation, our role is to protect your interests and enhance transaction value through sound real estate strategy.
