The cheap $500-2000 cars are selling the best around here. My friend can't keep them on the lot more than a day or two. And yes, you have to have a license to do it. It's not like you can just walk down to a store and get one either...

It's also very hard to get your foot in the door at dealerships...which is where most car jockeys get there cars from. People trade in a car and if it's not something the new car dealer wants on their lot, they wholesale it out to the jockeys. Usually they have their go to guy for selling their cars too and won't give other buyers the time of day. I used to run cars for my buddy and there was a LOT of a$$ kissing involved in maintaining a good relationship with the dealerships. I often had to stop off and pick up lunch, or doughnuts for the whole staff!
