Best Answer

The California DMV's Occupational Licensing is pretty clear on this one.

If you intend to sell even a single vehicle "with the intention to make a profit" you need a dealer license. A wholesale license allows you to sell to other dealers, a retail license allows you to sell to the public.

If the vehicles are titled in your name (and taxes paid), it's very unlikely you would ever be confronted by the DMV.

You'll show up somewhere / get caught when you're trying to re-sell a vehicle that is currently in someone else's name. This would require you to forge a new bill of sale for the next buyer.

How long before living in California do you have to get your state license?

You don't have to get the license BEFORE you live in California. You do, however, have to get it fairly quickly afterward: you must get a California license within 10 days of becoming a California resident. Certain people are not considered "residents" and are exempt from this, such as military personnel who happen to be stationed in California.
