If CDK were for sale, who would buy it?

So are we thinking someone with $6B+ who wants to get into or increase their foothold in the market?
CDK is.. substantial. If this goes through, I just hope to see them continue to centralize all their products under Fortellis.

Has the rise of Tekion influenced this potential sale?

I don't see it. Although I'm certain there's a data play here, I don't know that Amazon would want all the legacy software projects.

I actually used to work for CDK. One of the best jobs I've had. I'd say with where they're at under Krzanich I could see a potential play from either Microsoft, Salesforce, or another investment firm with current management kept in place.
