Pros

You can make money if you do not mind being unethical and breaking the law.

Cons

Deris Ceresa operates this business as if he was a car dealer, but he does not have a license to buy or sell cars in the State of Florida. His license was revoked in November 2002 after he had charges files against him for defrauding 44 customers of almost $1,000,000. Instead he wants private people to purchase cars for him and give him power of attorney so he can sell the cars to someone else at a great profit, suspecting exporting to out of the USA. The big problem is that the State tracks how many cars you buy and sell as an individual, and only allows you to buy and sell 3 cars a year without being a licensed dealer. When you do it 4 times you are reported by the tax collector and get a cease and desist letter and are subject to a $5,000 fine. The Luxury car dealers have also gotten wise to this and may "black ball" you. They have been known to file a 6 month lien for $1.00 on a car if they suspect that you are going to resell it, and this stops you from transferring to someone else. You may win your day in court, but they can seize your money and any cars you have bought until you defend yourself. Google "Luxury Car Dealership Cheated 44 Customers, Banks, State Says" and "Florida Statute 320.27 Motor vehicle dealers"

Pros

You get to learn how to be a good liar and bend ethics to the breaking point.

Cons

Don't waste your time unless you want to spend 40+ hours calling car dealers to send you an email with specs on a car they will never sell you. Your job is to try and pay cash for a luxury car (Mercedes, Land Rover) without the dealer knowing you are a broker. The car ends up being shipped over seas if you do get lucky. Even if you can get a dealer to sell you a car you are put on a list once the car goes out of country so you can never buy another one. Very, Very short job life if you think about it. So if you don't mind lying and exporting to other countries then this could be the short term job for you.
