Licensing Fees.
Auto dealers make profits primarily through selling new and used vehicles, financing arrangements with customers, selling extended warranties and service packages, and receiving incentives from manufacturers for meeting sales targets. Additional revenue streams can come from trade-ins, parts and service departments, and add-on products like insurance and accessories.
In most states, auto dealers can also sell trailers. However, different locales have different rules. You should check with your local authority as well as business licensing facilities to see what you can and can't sell with your licensing.
If you're interested in becoming an auto dealer for new or used cars, or an auto wholesaler or broker in Indiana, you need a dealer license. The official DMV website (specify Indiana) is the place to find details for licensing, bonding, and zoning rules for auto dealers.
The Department of Transportion(DOT) does the auto licensing and you register your car through your local courthouse as well as your license plate.
You can find cars for sale on classified ads, your local dealer and online. Some online sources are Auto Trader, Cars, Car Gurus, Community Auto Credit and Cars for Sale.
Texas, Oregon, Washington and others.
If you are under the impression that the auto dealer tries to overwhelm you and make a purchase that you did not intend on making...RUN! He can not be honest.
If you are looking for car reviews, there are several sources you can look for. If you want a broader opinion of higher end cars, you can check auto magazines such as Auto Week. You can also check auto websites, such as Edmunds, or if you are purchasing locally, ask the dealer.
One can locate an auto dealer by consulting a local paper or online yellow pages or by going online to a manufacturer's website which will have a "dealer locator" feature. There are also auto consumer organizations such as Edmunds which has an online feature that lists auto dealers across the country.
