I am considering opening up a small used car lot.
What lisences are needed? How is one able to go to the auctions and buy cars?
Thanks!

Have a good mechanic
Credit line for auction- Not Easy
Pass for Auctions
Place for tires
DMV close by
Expensive Advertising
Financing Available.
Detailer/Car Wash
Area to store Vehicles
That's just off the top of my head.
Oh, Insurance for all vehicles
Some cities won't even let you open a used car lot. They Hate Used Car dealers. They treat you like a drug dealer. Fire Department can cause problems with indoor storage due to fuel stored in vehicles.
This can all be done. IT IS ALOT OF WORK. Yeah GUTS is a big part of it.
