    Can you make a video on what kind of cars the banks like to loan money on? Like cut off on year models, .mileage limits. Are there some cars like Nissans with CVT transmissions that they don't like loaning money on? Are there certain cars they loan strong money on like a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord?

    • @LuckyLopez777
      @LuckyLopez777  2 роки тому +3

      I did a few videos of that already but the whole thing is is every single bank in your area is going to want different cars with different miles in different makes and models so it’s very hard to make a video.
      A lot of the banks I have here in Las Vegas or not in other states in some of the banks probably in your city and state are completely different from mine

  • @toddp.226
    @toddp.226 2 роки тому +5

    Good advice. I've seen dealers who have been screwed by wholesalers and vice versa. Unfortunately, VERY common in the car biz. If you REALLY trust a dealer, nothing wrong with leaving a car with him "on the arm" for a few days or a weekend to see if he can retail it. You better have known this dealer for many years and have lots of trust built up between the two of you first.

    1. Buy car at auction under dealer LLC name.
    2. Sell/Wholesale it to a local dealer.
    3. Buy the same car from that dealer under a different LLC company name. Pay them a few hundred bucks for processing the transaction.
    4. Now the vehicle is mine to do with what I choose and sell privately.

      I would recommend getting a dealers license above a wholesale license so even if you get a good deal and you want to retail if you have the chance to but be careful a lot of those places to charge you $300 a month you’re renting underneath somebody else’s license if they give you your own LLC in your own license insurance and Bond then I would do it never operate under somebody else’s license

    Truth be told, making a living wholesaling cars is very tough. If you pay auction prices then there is no meat left on the bone. Finding dealers that will wholesale cars to a newbie is wishful thinking. I've been a uc dealer since the 70s and truthfully the business today is for the big boys. I unfortunately can't suggest opening a uc lot or wholesaling as a long-term career. The future is dim for the little car guy. Sorry to be gloomy but it's my humble opinion. Good luck to those who choose to ignore my advice...

    So with a wholesale’s license, can I get a car from a auction and put it under my name without having to sell it to anyone else?

      Do you still have to pay sales tax and you have to go through a license dealer you can’t sell to yourself as a wholesaler
