> Ok so you can buy and flip shitboxes. Thats great and props to you for doing it, but to actually run a successful used car dealership it’s a little more complicated then you realize. You do know that if you went legit you have to give a minimum of a 30 day/1k milage guarantee on absolutely everything on the car and the length of time and milage increases if the age and milage is bellow a certain point. Your also technically breaking the law if you never title the vehicle in your name and your not a registered dealer. Again I know you’ve been selling cars this way for a long time and will probably continue to do so successfully, but if the tax collectors ever figured it out since I’m sure you claim none of the cash sale income you sir will be royally fucked. Not hating in anyway shape or form just posting counter point in the conversation.

> Oh and your mechanic must be freaking amazing and have x-ray vision to be able to diagnose and quote something over the phone, sounds to me like you make out cause you buy shit dirt cheap and have a guy that hooks you up with cheap repairs and you get out of the stuff before anything major can go wrong.

Oh I 110% agree that dealerships arent all its caked out to be and yeah, I know all about the 30 day if mileage on a vehicle has less than 100k on it, I meant regular mechanics who dont own dealerships. What also sucks about a dealership and the reason I dont have my own is the fact that you cant just let a buyer write there own bill of sale with a cheaper price… I see dealers AALLL the time loosing deals becuase there buying a car for 8-9k and dont wanna pay the $700 tax. On a private deal they can write whatever the fuck they want as long as I have my own record and bill of sale saying the true amount I sold for lol. I think you misunderstood about what I said about my mechanic… He drove down to personally see the vehicle, what I meant was all he needed was a cell phone to check the price of the PARTS needed to repair the car… No special tools were needed to give me an est.
