LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES & RECON

You've used Texas Direct as a benchmark for a sucessfull ebay model. One of the reasons TX dealers MAY have an advantage is reduced recon costs (state vs state). I haven't explored this fully, so I'll need you to examine this in detail.

 

For example, NY has high reconditioning costs from very strong pro-consumer laws. Look into what TX law is vs. your state. Regardless where the buyer is from, the dealer has to deliver the vehicle according to it's state law. This has been tested in court years ago. This could mean if TX DMV law is easy compared to our state, then TX dealers can enjoy a 300-800-1500$ intra-state recon advantage (domestic 4x4's are recon pigs).

 

Funny how TD sells a lot of domestic 4x4's Is it the TX recon advantage or is it TX traffic?
