Not sure about ND but it is 3 cars a year in some states.
In California, you can drive with an out-of-state license for up to 10 days before needing to obtain a California driver's license.

In California, you can sell up to five motorcycles per year without needing a dealer's license. If you sell more than five motorcycles within a calendar year, you are required to obtain a dealer's license. This regulation helps ensure that individuals who are engaging in the business of selling vehicles meet certain legal and regulatory standards. Always check for any updates or changes to the law, as regulations can evolve.
I don't know if this answer will help, but in Canada it doesn't matter how many you sell in a year all that matters is how many you are selling at any given time. In the province of BC, if you are actively selling more than 4 vehicles at once, you need a dealer license.
You can own as many as you want. However you can sell 4 before you need a dealers license. Sell that 5th car and you need a license.
http://www.dmv.org/az-arizona/dealer-licensing.php Anyone who sells, exchanges, or accepts trade-ins for new cars or buys used cars to resell them, or who sells four or more used cars in a 12-month period, must have a dealer license and renew it annually.
