Ive heard it was 5 cars allowed within a 365 day period without a private dealers license, from unreliable sources who probably just heard shit.Ive heard from someone that works at a driving school that is involved with the dmv ,that its hearsay ,bullshit, and it doesn’t matter how many because the dmv makes money off it every time so why would it matter to them.
Im looking for the answer from someone who works at the dmv or with personal experience who actually knows 100% the correct amount allowed.
Here’s DMV’s take on it. If you sell more than 5 cars (for a profit) in a 1 year period or display 3 cars at one time you are (in dmv judges opinions) an unregistered motorvehicle dealer and subject to action. If the vehicles are registered to you it doesnt really count, because you could just say you bought it and didnt like it.
Open back title is a is a Misdemeaner (can be a felony) according to V&T Law.
DMV doesnt look for unreg’d dealers unless 1) its obvious 2) a complaint is filed
Doing under 5 doesnt exempt you from being an unregistered dealer. If someone complains that you sold them a car and DMV can prove you bought it to resell for profit you can still be charged. Where the five comes in is that after five the judge wont even listen to you, you are pretty much automatically guilty.
FYI: advertising establishments (papers etc…) are more than cooperative with providing information to DMV.
all the vehicles ive bought have been registered in my name and driven at least a month before i sold them. I sold them usually because i didn’t really like them as much as i thought, or i got a good deal on something else.
So am i good if i sell my car and get something else ,if its gonna be number 6 for the year?
haha I used to have a friend like that. He can never make up his mind. With in a year: He bought a Trans Am, sold it and bought a Mustang, sold it and bought a Bike, sold it and bought a Altima.
