A used car dealership in Citrus Heights appears to have gone out of business.
The car lot, located on the corner of Auburn Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue where the border of Citrus Heights ends and a portion of unincorporated Sacramento County begins, was once packed with multiple cars for sale, along with other signs and flags.
The lot now appears vacant with zero signs of activity. The business is listed as permanently closed on Google.
The three-fourths-acre lot has gone through multiple used car dealership business names over the years, including Julie’s Car Corner, Dream Motors, Nation’s Auto Care and 3M Motors, according to previous online listings from Yelp and an auto sales online business directory.
Commercial brokers have recently marketed the site for lease as a “high-visibility corner lot” suitable for an auto dealership, contractor yard, drive-thru, or other similar use, according to a listing on commercial real estate site LoopNet.
The lot includes a canopy with overhead lighting and a 1,100-square-foot building, according to the listing. Vertical iron fencing currently surrounds the empty lot.
The corner sits at the intersection of Auburn Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue, where Mandarinate Avenue ends at Auburn Boulevard. The border of Citrus Heights includes the 5900 Auburn Blvd. lot, plus several other businesses adjacent at 5910 Auburn Blvd., including Poodle Nook Pet Grooming, Family Friends Veterinary Hospital and a sports club. The city’s border then veers east, toward Greenback Lane, leaving most of the adjacent neighborhoods in Sacramento County,
