Not to worry with the previous owner and vehicle resources available today (carfax and the like) + very precise title tracking data available.

I just want a few of the excellent evil VW diesels waiting to be shredded. ... Far less emissions than my Mack truck, and one can never have too many evil 50 mpg VW's (I only have a fleet of 34 at the moment)

50 mpg since 1976, no dinosaurs (fossil fuels) or toxic batteries required!

Default Hi From Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor is very nice. Across the bridge from Tacoma.
It's easy to get to the towns on the Kitsap Peninsula from here and it's also easy to go to Seattle as well.

Me and my Wife decided about moving to Washington State after visiting few times. We have lived in Saint Petersburg Florida for over 10 years and we are getting tired of the weather, we are originally from Europe.
My Wife has a great job with income over 100k annually. I have a used car dealership for over 8 years now with many happy customers so far .I am planning to close the business here and open something up there. We visited Seattle few times , Portland , Vancouver Wa. i noticed there are a lot of 4X4 vehicles , AWD , trucks etc. My main questions are :
1. Seattle is a huge city and iam sure there are hundreds of small car dealerships , are they selling decent cars ? i know florida state has 3 times as many residents but everybody needs new vehicles
i know its very difficult to relocate the business that far but i worked very hard for it and iam willing to do it again. Question is which city we should choose for a used car dealership ? auctions like manheim, adesa are everywhere in Florida , i know there is a manheim Seattle, portland, any other auctions with different names open to dealers only ?
2. Washington State is a beautiful state and would like to live close to great schools for my kids, i know Bellevue has great schools, but rent or properties up there are crazy expensive. Wewould have to rent for 6-12 months and after that we would have to buy something
3. We are planning to buy a big box truck and drive to Washington with all of our belongings( of course after renting a house or apartment) and take a vacation same time
4. Every state is different and does DmV in Wa offers Dealer tags etc ? are there any inspection on vehicles purchased at the dealer auctions? any lemon laws or everything is sold as is like in Florida ?
5. Was thinking to get a Wa dealer licence now i hope its easy as in Florida.

Please give us some advice about choosing a city to live so we can open a used car lot with vehicles under 40k for sale. Not writing about Wife"s job because she is a surgeon and finding a job for her wont be a problem. We really appreciate all the help !!
I would love to visit St. Petersburg...I miss the nice beaches!
