Meridian Automotive Group
Wholly owned subsidiary of Halverson Group (private).
Why Now
Two written IOIs exist. Meridian is the slowest process and the largest footprint; if they want it they need to say so soon.
Why They Should Buy
The broadest dealer footprint in the universe and an auction business that private-party sourcing feeds directly. Halverson buys rather than builds, and Meridian's own tooling is old.
Why They May Not Buy
Placeholder — not yet researched. Candidate objections to test: build-versus-buy given internal engineering capacity; channel conflict with existing dealer or wholesale channels; integration cost relative to deal size; whether private-party supply is a stated priority this cycle.
