How would you determine how much of a surety bond is needed?
As a principal at SuretyBonds.com -- one of the nation's leading surety bond producers -- this is a question that I answer frequently. Because you posted in the Cars & Vehicles category, I assume that you need an auto dealer/motor vehicle dealer surety bond for your state. The best way to find out the required amount of your surety bond is to contact your state's government agency that handles licensing and registration for your industry. For example, if you're an auto dealer in Arizona, you'll contact the Arizona Department of Transportation. No matter what type of surety bond you need and what state you'll practice business in, inquiring with the government agency about the required bond amount is always a great place to start. Often, these government agencies will have this information on their websites. Once you know your required bond amount, you can contact a reputable surety bond producer -- such as SuretyBonds.com -- to purchase your bond. The amount you pay for your bond will depend on your credit score, the type of bond you need, the state for which you need the bond and a few other factors.

The bond must expire on April 30th of each year and bonding companies typically do not pro-rate under 12 month terms, so you may want to pay for over a year up front.

What should I know if I want to become an auto dealer?
Becoming an auto dealer is not a simple process. First you must take state-mandated auto certification courses and then get certified. After that you must choose a location and name for your business and the type of vehicles you wish to sell. You must then obtain a zoning letter to get city approval for your dealership. After this you must obtain a surety bond which is at minimum $10,000. Then you need to get a business license from your state. Finally you must get your business inspected by the DMV. After all of that you can be an auto dealer. Becoming an auto dealer is not easy and not a short task, so if you want to become an auto dealer it is important to make sure your heart is really in it. The one thing to remember is that you can never have too much capital. Capital trumps inventory, sales personal, and most other aspects. Without sufficient capital your dealership will never weather the rough times or have the flexibility to manage your inventory dynamically.
