Because selling of vehicles is taken as capital intensive project, many people have illusion that this is a business that cannot be started with low capital.
Meanwhile, you can start this business without having capital. What you will just need is to make arrangement with genuine auto dealers you can trust. Based on agreement, you would be marketing his vehicles either offline or online for him. And any sales made by you would be subjected based on your agreement. When you are eventually found to be honest, the auto dealer may decide to be releasing few vehicles to you on sales or return agreement.

You are simply becoming a marketer for a company that is dealing in autocar services and you will get commission for every business deal that you brought that was successfully closed in the company.

I think that business is very capital intensive. With that being said then, it's not that easy for the dealer's to accept that to anybody that they never know in well.

This is applicable to all businesses. You are just being a marketer and not a car dealer. All the same, it is a good way to enter an industry and build yourself and your reputation.

You can sell cars without investing in purchasing the unit. Work as an agent for car dealers. You can also act as middlemen you look for people who sell their car and look for buyers, it's just matching the seller and the buyer. Your only capital is time and effort.

If you have the place to do it, then there is no need to spend money for it. Besides the point, if the vehicles have parts needed, you can just buy them or let the owners provide them.

I think this type of business would require a higher hand before you can qualify with it. I think it's a must that you get connected to the dealer's so that they can trust and work with you.

You are very correct with the assessment about this kind of business being capital-intensive because it is not everyone that will have that amount of capital to be able to do this business.

Any business you want to do need to be based on trust and agreement, especially if you are going to do this without capital like this one you would be marketing vehicles on trust

You are right. A person needs to be well-skilled with this kind of endeavour. In my country, we have a government agency that trains people who wanted to be in this line of business. As a proof, they need to be certified.

You would need to build your reputation over time by being honest with some small deals you get. After some time, you would get industry trust and that would shoot you to be an authority in the field of car dealership agency.

That means you will be an agent. Whenever any sale is made you will be paid some certain amount of money. There are people who also do this in real estate business.

In this case, you are actually working as an agent and get commission when you sell a car for the dealer. It's true that engaging in this kind of job does not require capital investment, but you need to have good knowledge about different cars you sell so that you can make proper recommendations to potential customers.

Granted that it is capital intensive project, but the dealer can approve anybody to be their marketer or sub dealer as the case may be. If the marketer has not build good reputation to be entrusted with cars, he can then be asked to bring his prospects to the dealer 's garage.

Even if you know someone who runs car auto shop and the person does not have trust in you, it is going to be very difficult for you to have any business attached to his business company.
Every kind of business requires trust to go on. Sometimes people can even decide to serve as affiliates to such kind of businesses to get started.

First and foremost make some research on how much is needed to start such business. It would be best to seek the help of does who have some level of experience in this field.

It is not compulsory to have money before you can start auto business. You can make arrangements with trusted auto dealers whom shall be paying you commissions for every sales you made to the customers you bring.
Some auto dealers would even allow you to negotiate the price with your customers. Just ensure your prices are above the market value of the vehicle.
