A 25% profit over the cost is the same as 5/4 (since 100% contains 4/4 or four quarters). So, divide 39,000 by 5(fourths) and then multiply by 4(fourths) to get the cost 31,200.

Do larger volume car dealerships sell cars for lower markups than lower volume dealers?

The more units a dealer sells the less markup he can accept and still make a profit. As to if, the dealer sells cars for less markup depends on the dealer. Theoretically they can, but realistically they may not. All depends on the dealer, and the competition in that market area. I would say you should get a better deal at a large dealership, but at least give a smaller dealer a chance at your business. You might be surprised at the price the small dealer will accept. Bottom line is to shop around, and do your research.

Who needs a car dealer license in CA?

The DMV says that "anyone who sells a vehicle for profit needs a dealer license". It doesn't matter if you sell one or one hundred, it's the profit that counts. If you're doing a person-to-person sale as you would selling your car to your neighbor, you're OK. If you buy even a single car with the intention to sell it for profit, you'll need a license. Refer to vehicle code 285 and 286 on dmv.ca.gov its a long answer
