The State of Indiana attempted to make legislative changes last year in dealer licensing because of the numerous issues. It failed to get out of committee.
Here is what the Indiana Secretary of State website says:
If you are doing business from other than an Indiana location, you are at risk of having your license revoked, not renewed or other consequences.
If your business operation is not located in Indiana, we will be happy to work with you in the surrender of your license without fines or other consequences where appropriate, as you obtain alternative licensing".
i.e. if you're just using an office in Indiana to get the license but actually doing business in another state, then beware!
Also it says:
By rule, as a wholesale dealer you are eligible for used dealer plates. The used dealer plates are restricted to vehicles (inventory) primarily used or stored in Indiana.
