Libertyville Lincoln Sales, Inc.

What Libertyville Lincoln Sales, Inc. does

Libertyville Lincoln Sales, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned authorized Lincoln automobile dealership franchise operating from a single showroom at 941 S Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, Illinois, approximately 20 minutes from O'Hare Airport. The company was founded in 1972/1973 (sources vary) and has served the Northern Chicago suburbs and southern Wisconsin — including Libertyville, Kenosha, Gurnee, and Lake Forest — for over 50 years. Its core offering is the retail sale of new Lincoln SUVs (Navigator, Navigator L, Aviator, Nautilus, Corsair) plus Certified Pre-Owned and used vehicles, complemented by a full service department, parts sales, and trade-in appraisal. Pricing on new vehicles ranges from approximately $61,105 (Nautilus Premiere) to $107,825 (2027 Navigator Reserve), with manufacturer promotional APRs from 0.0% to 6.8% and lease payments from $629 to $1,451 monthly.

Revenue is generated through four streams: new vehicle sales, pre-owned vehicle sales, service and parts, and finance and insurance products (arranged primarily through Lincoln Automotive Financial Services). The dealership supports an omnichannel customer journey combining an online vehicle search and credit application platform, in-person test drives and trade-in appraisals at the showroom, Lincoln Mobile Service (technicians dispatched to the customer location), and complimentary Pickup & Delivery within a 50-mile radius for servicing. Customer segments are primarily individual luxury vehicle buyers in the Chicago/Milwaukee catchment, with a secondary business/commercial fleet service segment.

The business operates on a horizontal, direct-to-consumer motion with no disclosed funding, M&A activity, leadership changes, or expansion beyond the single Libertyville site. It holds manufacturer-recognized credentials including the 2024 Lincoln President's Award and (historically) two Mazda President's Club Awards, suggesting prior multi-brand franchise operations. Technology stack is provided primarily through FordDirect (Ford's dealership platform) and Google Analytics; no proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or patents are disclosed. The company has a 9-person reported headcount (likely undercounted relative to a full-service dealer operation) and does not publicly disclose revenue.
