What happens if I sell abandoned vehicles or parts and don't get a dealer's license?

Towing agencies or custodians are exempt from obtaining a dealer's license if the vehicles they acquire at auctions are sold to licensed vehicle dealers.
It is possible; however, that you may be engaging in business practices for which a dealer license may be required or which may bring you within the penalty provisions of section 257.248j.
Section 257.248j of the Michigan Vehicle Code provides that a person who has acted as a dealer without a dealer license may face a penalty of not more than $5,000 for a first violation and not more than $7,500 for each subsequent violation within seven years of a previous violation. You may wish to discuss the specific facts of your case with your attorney because of the substantial penalty.
