Background & Context

2 stories

2.1

Dealer license categories matter more than most assume.

Most states distinguish between retail, wholesale, and broker dealer licenses, with different bonding, facility, and inventory requirements. A wholesale license does not authorize retail sale to consumers; selling cross-category is a license violation that can trigger immediate suspension regardless of intent.

Why It Matters

Cross-category sales are also typically uninsurable under the dealer's bond, leaving the dealer personally exposed on consumer claims that arose from the unauthorized sale.

2.2

Floor-plan audits are a process, not a surprise.

Floor-plan lenders perform unannounced inventory audits to verify that every financed vehicle is on the lot, in the condition reported, and not sold-out-of-trust. The audit cycle is typically monthly. Discrepancies — a vehicle not present without proof of sale and payoff — trigger acceleration of the entire credit line in many agreements.

Why It Matters

Sold-out-of-trust findings can convert a manageable cash-flow gap into immediate demand for the entire floor-plan balance. Recovery from a single bad audit can take years.
