FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Haig Partners LLC, the leading buy-sell advisory firm to higher value auto, heavy truck and RV dealers, was the exclusive sell-side advisor to CarMax in the sale of CarMax Kenosha Toyota to the Rydell Company.

"We made the decision to sell our Kenosha Toyota new car store to allow us to continue to focus on our core business of delivering an exceptional used car buying and selling experience," said Enrique Mayor-Mora, chief financial officer at CarMax.  "We appreciate the strong relationship we have with Haig Partners and have worked with Kevin Nill for more than 20 years. Our experience with the company enhanced our trust and confidence that we would be represented with integrity and ensure this transaction would be completed successfully."

We are honored to have been the exclusive sell-side advisor on the sale of the CarMax Kenosha Toyota store as well as the previous sale of CarMax Laurel Toyota.  We are grateful for the opportunity to bring our depth of relationships and industry expertise to CarMax, enabling us to navigate all aspects of this sale and match CarMax with a great organization," commented Kevin Nill, Partner with Haig Partners.
