Ira Motor Group

What Ira Motor Group does

Ira Motor Group is a privately held multi-brand automotive dealership group headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts, operating 40+ retail locations across Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and New Jersey. The group holds franchise agreements with 14+ original equipment manufacturers spanning luxury brands (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Land Rover, Lexus, Acura, Audi) and mainstream brands (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Subaru, Mazda, Volvo, MINI), plus an Airstream recreational vehicle franchise in Scarborough, Maine. It sells new vehicles, pre-owned vehicles, and certified pre-owned vehicles, and operates in-house finance centers, certified service and parts departments, and two dedicated collision repair centers.

The company generates revenue through four streams: new vehicle sales, pre-owned vehicle sales, finance and insurance income (transaction-fee based on loans and leases originated in-house), and service/parts operations. Vehicle pricing follows a unit-pricing model with MSRPs ranging from approximately $26,000 (entry Toyota Corolla) to over $100,000 (luxury AMG and performance models), supplemented by a flat $595 documentation fee. Go-to-market is a traditional sales-led dealership model augmented by the iracars.com digital platform built on Dealer Inspire, which aggregates inventory across all rooftops and supports online browsing, service scheduling, and digital test-drive scheduling. The primary customer segment is individual vehicle buyers (B2C) across the New England region. No public revenue, ownership, or leadership details are disclosed; Group1auto is referenced as a parent/portfolio entity for career and used-car acquisition channels.
