car dealership
Auto sales lot
A car dealership is a business that sells new or used automobiles, typically from a physical lot where vehicles are displayed.
Dealerships often handle financing, trade-ins, and service after the sale.
Franchised dealerships sell specific brands under manufacturer agreements, while independent dealers sell whatever they acquire: We bought our truck from a dealership across town.
