States have nothing to do with an auction choosing to be a dealer only auction or a public auction. Thus there is no state that "requires" a dealer licenses to buy at an auction. This a requirement of the auction if it chooses to be dealer only.
You don't need an auction licenses to buy at an auction you need a dealer license to buy at most auctions. Contact your states department of revenue which typically handle dealer and wholesale licensing.
No. In fact most are sold at dealer only auctions.
True auctions require that you be an auto dealer to get in. Being a dealer usually requires a license and bond and often a business address.
According to the Maryland State Motor Vehicle Administration: The State of Maryland requires that all those who sell more than five vehicles per year must be licensed as a dealer. Dealer Licenses are issued by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). The MVA charges a $500 dealer license fee annually. The State does require a dealer bond the amount of which is based upon the amount of vehicles sold.
The only way you can buy or sale at a dealer only auction is to be a registered dealer. That means you have to be a licensed dealer.
No the auctual auction does not charge tax, they get a fee of the total price, but once a dealer sells that car that dealer has to pay taxes on that vehicle.
Copart Auto Auction has some repo vehicles. You can check them at http://www.easyexport.us/?a_aid=49e6f684c12b9. It's a dealer auction but you can get an access through one of the official brokers.
You could go to ca dealerships and ask if you could rent their license and/ or ability to buy wholesale. Somewhere along the line, wholesale licenses require that you be in business and have a lot.
a dealer should have a bond. The coverage on the vehicle is like having a liability policy. If the dealer was driving the car and had an at fault accident, he will have to pay for repairs on his vehicle and the bond will cover the other persons car. Once you buy a car from a dealer, you are responsible for purchasing insurance for the vehicle, the dealer is no longer liable. In fact, the dealer should require that you have insurance before you drive the vehicle off the lot.
Not all states require a salvage title. Any recourse would have to be determined by the laws of the state in which you currently reside. If your state does require a salvage title, then the dealer is responsible for making sure you have that information. A lot of dealers buy vehicles from auction houses around the country and they may have gotten a vehicle that they didn't know that information or the state where it was purchased didn't require a salvage title. So you will need to look at your state laws and also the total history of the vehicle to see what laws apply.
Yes. The dealer will require proof of insurance prior to letting you take it home. Especially if there is a loan on the vehicle.
From my point of view I think no!!
