WardsAuto recently featured insights and data from Haig Partners in its coverage of how tariffs are influencing the dealership buy-sell market.

Alan Haig, President of Haig Partners, explained the strength of the dealership model in adapting to changing market conditions:

“Dealers have a business model that’s way more diverse and flexible than automakers. If the price of new autos goes up, some customers are going to switch to buying used cars to save a little money – and the dealer makes money there, too. And if that trend continues and used goes up, and people continue to service the one they have, instead of purchasing a car – then the dealer will be there for them, too.”

The article also highlighted findings from the Haig Report®, which estimates that 192 dealerships changed hands in the first half of 2025, down 39% compared to the same period in 2024.

These insights emphasize how Haig Partners continues to provide the industry with the data and perspective needed to navigate evolving challenges and opportunities.
