You will need to register with your state as a used car dealer.


You don't exactly register as a used car dealer, you have to apply for a license. In Illinois you need to do the following:

Submit a $20,000.00 bond.
Pay $1,000.00 license fee.
Have proper dealership insurance and workman's comp ins. 8000.00 per year and up depending on the number of employees.
Have a location zoned for car sales. A lot is not required however, the state is very particular as to how cars can be shown. If you rent the space the lease must be in effect to the end of the calendar year. You can not operate a dealership out of your house in IL.
The office must have a desk, chair, file cabinets, and land line. If you intend on issuing TRP's you must have a computer with internet access.
If you do not offer a repair service on site (a separate license) you need to have a licensed repair shop sign off on your dealer's application that they will handle the repair issues. If you do offer a repair service you need to apply separately and get EPA compliance.
Fingerprints and a background check need to be submitted with the application.
A FEIN (Fed employer identification number) and a state resale certificate must be obtained before applying.
On your location you must have a sign on the door with the company name and the hours open. You must be open a minimum of 4 hours per day 5 days a week. No cars can be sold on Sunday. You must also have a permanent sign on the street where the dealership is located.
When you have all this stuff you send in your application and the state comes out and inspects your facility.

Once you get your license you must keep a police book of all transactions and you can not sell to anyone on the Specially Designated Nationals list that is kept by the Fed. Dept. of Treasury.

There's probably a lot more that I'm forgetting. Also, the license is only good for the calendar year. Every year in December you must reapply and send the $1,000 fee. Also, the state can and does inspect your facility at any time and all your records better be up to date.

Like I said I'm probably forgetting stuff and every state is different but this will give you a general idea.

Car Talk / Re: Between Honda Accord V-tech And Honda Accord Dx,ex, Lx by SpecA: 3:00pm On Jun 29, 2006
VTEC is an engine type in Honda's. On the older models they were available only in the LX, SE and EX models. The DX's and VP's had standard 16 valve 4 cyl. engines. Now all Hondas in the US are made with the VTEC technology.
