I have been researching on Idaho’s DMV website on how to obtain a dealer’s license. It looks like I am going to have to come up with a $20,000 bond and a commercial location/land in order to even apply for a dealers license. It also states that if you are not going to sell more then 5 vehicles a year and they will be registered in your name, the you do not need a license. That is where I fit in, not needing a license, so can anyone tell me if there is a way to get a dealer’s license get into dealer auctions where I can get lower then book pricing so I can make profits off my sales? I am looking for any help and anyone who has been through the same situation I am currently in. Thanks!!

I am trying to get some type of California license that will let the business I work for purchase work vehicles at a wholesale price. Also, so that we can go to car auctions. I have found the different licenses on the DMV website but I do not know what kind of license this would require. Please help!
