The NYE Group has sold its six dealerships in upstate New York to Atlantic Coast Automotive Group, according to a news release from the Tim Lamb Group, which brokered the sale.

Harold Nye founded NYE Group in 1968, and his son William Nye has helmed the group since 1998.

The transaction closed May 24.

“The sale of my six dealerships was a large and complicated transaction,” NYE Group owner Bill Nye said.

“Rob Lee of the Tim Lamb Group was always readily available, experienced with answers, and prompt with decisions,” he said. “The OEM approval stage is also not simple. Tim Lamb was there with support, ‘go to’ people and steady advice. They are a great team.”
