Yes..! And the reason is the way we legally structure our Co-op Dealerships.  All of our dealerships are setup as Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s) and we simply make you a member of that LLC.  This gives you the legal right to buy and sell cars for the dealership.  All vehicles are bought and sold under the dealership name, yet you keep all the profits that you generate because you are a member of the LLC.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I resell to the public?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Remember, you are not personally selling cars with our program..!  The dealership that you are a member of is selling the car.  And all of our Co-op Dealerships have retail dealer licenses, so yes cars can be sold directly to the public.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I sell cars out of my home?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Remember, you are not personally selling cars with our program..! The dealership that you are a member of is selling the car..! The dealership manager conducts the paperwork for each sale at the dealership location. You, as the member are simply delivering the car to the customer. We do not recommend bringing strangers to your home for safety reasons.

How many dealer plates do I get?

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How many dealer plates do I get?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Each member gets one (1) fully insured dealer plate.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I attend dealer only auctions?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Yes, as a member of our Co-op Dealership Program, you will have access to auctions like Manheim.com and Adesa.com as well as most independent auctions.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I have to pay sales tax on the cars I buy?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No. Licensed car dealers are exempt from paying sales tax on any vehicles they purchase.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I have to pay Income Tax with your program?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Yes.  At the end of the year the Co-op Dealership will give you a 1099 for your gross sales.  You are required to keep track of all your expenses and your cost of goods sold.  You will then need to pay income tax on the net profit from your activities.  If you operate as an individual you will need to file a Schedule C with your 1040.  We are able to “1099” a valid Limited Liability Company or Corporation if you wish.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Where will my Co-op Dealership be located?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

We have Co-op Dealerships located nationwide and we try to place you on a dealership as close to you as possible. Be aware that you do not need a used car dealer license from your state to buy and sell cars in your state. A used car dealer license transcends state lines. A dealership in any state can legally sell cars nationwide, to anyone with no restrictions..!  We strongly suggest our members to educate themselves with Interstate Commerce Laws and Dormant Commerce Clause.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I use an out-of-state dealer license in my state?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Remember, you are not personally selling cars with our program..! The dealership that you are a member of is selling the car..! You are not “using” our dealer license, as that would be illegal. You will be a member of a dealership with a valid dealer license. And that dealership has the legal right to sell cars to anyone in any state. Dealerships are not restricted to just buying and selling cars within their state. AGAIN, you are not “using” a dealer license to “sell” cars in your state..! That is not what our program is about..!

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long does it take to get set up with your program?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

We get people set up within 24 to 48 hours.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I have to obey local laws with your program?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Yes..! Using our Co-op Dealer License Program does not absolve you from adhering to local, state or federal laws.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I use the dealer plate for personal use?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No..!  The dealer plate that is issued is for business use only. Business use means things like transporting a car from the auction to the dealership, or transporting a car from the dealership to a mechanic, and/or test-driving with a customer.  Driving from a restaurant to your home, or running daily errands is not business use and you are responsible for any and all tickets as a result of such misuse.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How much insurance coverage comes with the plates?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Our program provides $100,000 liability and $30,000 of physical damage with a $2,000 or 10% deductible, which ever is greater. Physical damage covers fire, theft, comprehensive and collision. If you have questions about the amount of insurance coverage or have a special request for more insurance please feel free to call our office.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long have you guys been in business?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

The company behind DealerLicense.net has been providing the Co-op Dealership Solution since 1990.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can other people use the dealer plate issued to me?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No.  The dealer plate issued to you is for your use only.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I share the license with other people to help cut my cost?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No.  Only the Co-op Member is allowed to buy and sell cars under our program.  We do have a program though that allows two members, which lowers the individual cost of our Co-op Dealer Program.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are there any other fees I need to know about?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

The monthly and $99 per car are the only fees to be a part of our Co-op Dealership Program.  However, there are other fees to consider such as tax, title and registration fees as well as FedEx fees, etc…  These fees are usually the responsibility of the customer purchasing the car.  The total fees involved with a vehicle purchase is usually less than $200 per car.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I need to have a location to be part of your program?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No you do not need a location to be part of our program.  All our Co-op Dealerships already have a location from which they operate.  However, you will need some place to store and/or work on the cars you purchase, but you can not display for sale any car, at any location, other than the approved dealership location.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is the dealership set up in my name?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No.  All our Co-op Dealerships are already existing and have a name.  Remember, we are not setting up a dealership just for you.  Rather, our Co-op Dealerships are comprised of multiple independent contractors, just like you.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Will my Co-op Dealership be located in my state?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

We make every attempt to place members with a dealership in their state, but this is not always possible due to availability and other circumstances beyond our control.

We do have enough dealerships located throughout the US that we can typically place you with a Co-op Dealership in a neighboring state, if your state is not available.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is this a retail or wholesale dealer license?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

All of our Co-op Dealerships have retail licenses.  This allows you to sell cars both wholesale (to other dealers), or retail (directly to the public).

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I need to have a corporation or LLC to use your program?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No.  All of our Co-op Dealerships are already setup as Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s), affording you complete corporate protection.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long do I have to sign up for?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Our program operates on a month-to-month basis.  We do collect a first and last two months payment upfront, so you are committing to at least three months.  However, you can quit at anytime and your last two months are already paid.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When do my monthly payments start?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Your regular monthly payments start one month after your “Start Date“.

Your official “Start Date” begins about ten days after you have gained auction access and received your dealer plate.

 

This 10 day grace period gives you the time to research and visit dealer auctions you might be interested in attending, as well as allowing us to work out any problems and/or issues that might arise.

 

This ten day grace period ensures a full month worth of Co-op Dealership membership.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the corporate structure of the dealership?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

Our Co-op Dealerships are setup as either Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s) or as Limited Partnerships (LP’s).

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Am I liable for other member’s actions?” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ open=”off”]

No. All of our Co-op Dealerships have protections in place such as well-written operating agreements, surety bonds, and in-house legal council specializing in our exact Co-op Dealer System.

Our legal structure is rock-solid and focused on protecting the dealership as well as each individual member.

We have successfully defended our Co-op Dealership Business Model over the last 28+ years nationwide and all of our Co-op Dealerships are professionally managed, on a daily basis, to comply with all Federal, State and local laws.

Rest assured that you are 100% protected with our system.
