you need $$$$$$

[chopobo]

i think a mechanic apprenticeship would be starters

but that takes 4 years

you dun have to know mechanics or have a dealership to import cars

you jus have to have the funds to invest in importing cars

and a place to put them

under the new raws system you need a qaulified mechanic to be on the books....

You also need to be Licensed Motor Car trader as well correct??

That involves a yearly fee as well?

oh, that sounds complicated~"~

so i have to get a certain amounts of certs to open a dealership and workshop?

yes i know $$ will have some in 1-2 yrs

not you....just someone will have to be gainfully employed there.........but the LMCT has to be under the owners name

Setup costs are fairly high, including RAWS certification, mechanic on books and also u have to have stock before u can sell it, so the initial outlay of cash for all the stock... Also there is LMCT costs, business registration costs, costs of your premises... just alot of damn costs, lol

All in all a fun idea as a thought, alot of hard work in reality
