In this state, anyone involved in the business of buying, selling, dealing in motor vehicles and/or offering them for sale at wholesale or retail. In basic terms, if you buy and sell vehicles as your primary business, you more than likely need a license. To be more specific, the State of Florida considers you a dealer if you sell more than 3 vehicles within a 12 month period You do not need a license if you sell only your personal vehicle. Nevertheless be extra careful that you are not Curbstoning. This refers to a person placing their vehicle by the side of a public road with a “For Sale” sign on the windshield. Your vehicle may be towed if it is parked in the wrong location displayed with a for sale sign. For sale cars should be parked in a lot of your dealer. See Unit 14 of this course, "Curbstoning."
