    I've been a dealer here in Georgia for 18 years and you DONT need a lot here. You only need an office with a land line, a desk, and a filing cabinet. I do things a bit different and I have a very lavish office that's very private for all my customers. I sell about 15 cars a month. I sell more cars than some dealers here in Georgia that have big lots. I have a part time title clerk, part time detail guy, and a part time mechanic. I do very well and sell everything from a 20 year old Honda Civic to late model Lamborghini and I do just fine. I do have a floor plan but I use my own cash at this point to buy my cars. So yes, you CAN do very well and not have a lot with 50 cars on them. Some may say how can you thrive selling 15 cars a month?...Well, first of all I don't have a lot with huge overhead with 50 cars paying a floor plan fee on each car that sit there unsold. Secondly, do the math. If I'm averaging 15 cars a month and if I just turn a profit of $2,500 off each vehicle, that's $37,500 profit a month or just under a half million dollars a year, and when you sprinkle in one or two of those 15 cars are high end exotic cars that will have a $7k - $10k profit, that half a million dollar year profit is now in the $600k range. Not a bad way to earn a living being a full fledged licensed dealer that can buy cars at any Manhiem or any other auction facility in the country. So in many cases, you can earn a great living and sell cars and not have all that tremendous overhead dealers have with lots.

    Great video. As someone who has often dreamt about having a DL to flip a few cars a year as a side hustle. You glossed over one of the biggest setbacks of having a lot - it has to be zoned properly. Try finding even a 1/10acre lot in any major city that is properly zoned (usually has to be commercial C3) and it will likely be ultra expensive. One question I've always had, can you buy a lot in an unincorporated, unzoned area, throw in a mobile trailer as an office, would that qualify in some states?

      @@ritikparmar3022 Depending on your state, you are limited to how many cars you can sell in a 12 month period, otherwise you will get fined or go to jail. Florida is 3.
      Likewise if you buy a car, get the title and don't put it in your name, and pass it along to the new owner, that is called JUMPING THE TITLE and is ILLEGAL. Will get you fined and in bit trouble.
      Best to find a small dealer that will let you use their license to buy cars. If you want to drive it, put it in your name. If you want to sell it, give it to the dealer to sell it for you. Beware there are dealers who will SELL your car and keep the $$
      Best to go to a dealer only auction and go talk the MANAGER, HE probably knows an honest dealer that will let you use their license and pay a flat fee per car, like $250

    In any state you are and you want NEW Car Dealers License you need a location and you need affiliations with the manufacturer- you have to be a franchised dealer but all other licenses do not require you to have a location other then car rental business! Wholesale license you don’t need a license and you can sell cars to the public just as a private owner but you still get to go to dealer’s auctions and buy cars for wholesale value. Broker’s license you can buy new cars from dealers and auctions and sell to the public and you don’t need a physical location to do your business. Rental License you can buy and sell and rent cars but you need physical location! Another way to get around all licenses is to own legitimate car repair shop or gas station then you can sell cars on your property and display them as a used car lot!

    Good information, new sub here! So, Michigan passed some rather draconian laws with regard to dealer license. Not only do you need a physical location, but you also have to have a car repair facility, as well. If you do not have a car repair facility, you have to have a repair shop agree to sponsor or vouch for you, leaving you vulnerable and subject to another's judgement/whims. I imagine this is bc of all the craigslist abuses and scams that happened, but its gone too far now. Its a shame bc cars are a passion of mine and I would like to be able to have a small number of specific type cars to buy and sell

    Interested to learn more about different business strategies and approaches you can do with a Wholesale license (re-sell through dealer-only auctions, targeted sales to specific dealerships, any other common practices?).
    Also exporting. Can you export with a wholesale license and do you need anything additional for export?
    By the way, in California, you only need 2 parking spots for the retail physical location, but even those small lots are hard to find. Probably harder than traditional larger size lots, at least in my area.

It’s an awesome set up for starting out. My rent is only $400 a month. I only pay $1000 a month for rent , internet/phone , garage keepers insurance, and dealer management system. My bond was only $443, and it is good for 3 years.

      @@lifetransparently Hey Jay, I'm a former car dealer, so I can answer this for you. Yes, with a wholesale license you can purchase vehicles at the dealer only auctions like Manheim, Adesa, etc. Some states will allow a Wholesale License to get dealer plates and some will not. So check with your state law as it will be a huge pain getting the vehicles from auction to your house, warehouse, etc without dealer plates. You would have to pay someone to transport them on a truck or hire a drive service. Once you purchase the vehicles and recondition (recon) them, you will not be able to rent them on Turo until you register them to your name or your company name as they will need a license plate, registration, insurance, etc. Even if your state allows a wholesaler to get dealer plates, you cannot rent them on Turo with your dealer plates. Turo wouldn't allow it I'm sure and if the state or DMV found out they would take your license and you would be in serious hot legal water. Hope this helps and best of luck to you Jay.

    Also selling under someone else’s dealer’s license could be illegal to do depending on what state you are in. Technically in GA, it’s illegal to sell under someone else’s license . You risk getting your dealer’s license revoked by the used motor vehicle board. However this law is not enforced much in GA so a number of dealers allow others to sell under their licenses. Of course though employees of the dealership can legally purchase under the license on behalf of the dealership.

The difference between what is legal versus illegal is whose money is being used to be purchase the car that is being resold. It is illegal for someone to use a dealer’s license to purchase cars using his or her own money to resell the vehicle. This law is not enforced, but it technically is still illegal in GA.

    Hi Lucky, Im in the process of starting my used car dealership in Oregon. I have read over the requirements for a dealership location in Oregon. the requirements are; "Each business location established by a dealer must: (1) have sufficient space to display one or more vehicles of the type the dealer has been issued a certificate to sell; (2) provide a means for the public to contact the dealer or an employee of the dealer at all times during the dealer’s normal business hours; (3) display an exterior sign affixed to the land or building that identifies the dealership by the name; and (4) display, in a publicly conspicuous manner, the vehicle dealer certificate". I've been brainstorming locations, I've come up with commercial storage units or renting an office space. please let me know if im on the right path or if you have any suggestions. Thanks

No license crap no dmv crap no irs crap no bank scams no issues no losses. Just did it in a way that to me made sense, never had someone to show me how to simply give my profits to some uninvolved party for no reason other than because of being told it's how its done. Thats the kind of bs i would tell someone if i wanted them to pay me for doing nothing. I moved on to more interesting things but because I do like cars i still move 1 or 2 a month in the same way i always had, even still no dmv no loan vultures from the banks, no tax crap or dmv, etc. Just not for paying bills anymore, but for the sake of playing with cars as a hobby but not having my house look like 50 aliens are living in my house.
