How to become a Car dealer and to start a Car ShowRoom

I am planning to Start Car show room in TamilNadu in another 4-5 yrs. What are the Procedures involved in it? What is the initial investment that I need to spend towards that?

one of a kind question ...very interesting .... waiting to hear from others.

By the way Dinesh... welcome to carwale...

You have to apply to the car company for which you have to take the dealership.  Mostly the application forms are available online and you can even apply online or they will send you the application form.  You will have to provide your net worth with photos of your proposed showroom and if workshop then details for that.

Investment depends upon company to company.

minimum investment starts from 5 crores on showroom infrastructure with workshop and inventory.

I also wanted to start something similar, since we dont have AUDI or Mercedes SHowrooms here in our city.

But when I enquired, they said, it should be a security deposit of around 10 crores for Audi. I started vomiting on the phone . LOL!

I heard Renault is looking for a dealership in different areas of our country. Check the url below.

Mods: Should this thread be under "Buying a car" category or somewhere else?

Just a matter of time, buddy, considering how you goin' places! I would request considering giving CW members a special discount, when you reach.

Thanks, Gerald! Taken care now.

No one ask for the security deposit.  its the net worth they see and the investment you will do in the invetory.

Renault is looking for dealership and would have to be ready by 2010 end with the infrastructure.

If you require I can give you the Cell number of the concerned person with whom you can talk.

Thanks a lot anuprav for ur valuable info .I need 4-5 yrs time for getting started.But u can share further information about getting the Dealership..

Dinesh, best way to obtain information is to go through the actual process of enquiry about a dealership. Ask genuinely, to the person who is involved with Renault. The quality of information received there is likely to be much better than other indirect means.
