The economic downturn has claimed another car dealership along Burien's Auto Row.
Millennium Ford at the northeast corner of 1st Avenue South and South 146th Street has been put up for sale or lease. The dealership had stopped selling new cars but is now going out of business unless another buyer is found.
BBC Dodge and Burien Nissan, both along the 1st Avenue auto row, have gone out of business. Auto dealerships are Burien's top source of sales tax revenue.
According to an advertisement by Colliers International, "In the heart of Burien's business district, an incredible opportunity awaits.
"Former Millennium Ford's showroom, service department and body shop are offered for sale, for sale with leaseback, or for lease along with a 24,500 square-foot paved yard and a 25,700 square-foot vacant parcel.
"Each site has excellent visibility and can be used for auto related uses, other uses, or as a future development opportunity."
The showroom at 14500 1st Ave. S. is 6,700 square feet with a paved 1.7-acre paved sales lot.
The service department at 14600 Ambaum Boulevard Southwest is fully equipped in a 21,000 square-foot building on a 45,700 square-foot parcel of land.
The body shop is located at 14615 9th Ave. S.W. It is a 7,700 square-foot building with a paint booth on 12,400 square-feet of land.
