Are you going to suggest that you and your wife would walk through a crowd of drug dealers and users with prostitutes making passes at both of you to get to the door of a resturant to get something to eat?

This would be similar to one of those "fake checks" that you may have gotten from auto dealers, where you come in and can get that amount of discount off a car.

Car dealer says they're get my in for maintenance mid-July.

We have a car dealer in D/FW that has a whole series of these GOOFY commercials with what I assume is the Sales Manager's dog.  

I recently had an older (10 years or so) Honda Civic sold for about 5K; 10 years old, almost 100K kilometers on it, but easily could've done another 100K with the right mechanic and so on, always dealer serviced etc.5K (and on-going maintenance etc.) is a great price for a car that's still safe (had all the modern safety functions of ABS, airbags, etc. and even had A/C!). 

I am neither an accountant nor an attorney, and I am not sure if someone else mentioned this, but you need to be mindful of the IRS designating YOU personally as a dealer.

Others have pointed me to local dealers who create a co-op of sorts for importing materials for homebuilders like me.

They will most likely tell you LLCs are great for passive investing and S-Corp for dealer status activity and wholesaling is dealer status activity.Also you may be using the word wholesaling wrong and meant to say assigning.

I sold a property to a car dealer friend of mine and took a Pathfinder in on the deal!

That's all.Its like me buying a Mercedes Benz and the dealer telling me that I cannot drive it for 90 days or I cannot resell it to a willing buyer!
