Do a youtube search. There are many videos from people in the business that go over everything from licensing, laws, how to buy, what to look for, taxes, real world experience etc etc
Please note, you may want to research laws in your own state, once you've decided it's the business for you.

Check out Craig from his YT channel called Flying Wheels.
He went over everything starting from very little money. He now has a decent size used car lot.

Well, I don't know if you have ever sold cars for a living, but if you haven't there is a good place to start. Get a job at a dealership in sales. Do this for a year or two. You learn the business, and more importantly, learn if really want to be a part of it. It's much better to figure this part out on someone else's dime, than to risk your life savings only to find out you hate it.

It really only requires three things,
1) tough skin, because almost everyone you meet will start off thinking your a thief.
2) Determination, because you face a ton of rejection and objection.
3) Commitment, it's long hours, hard work, tons of cold calling. You always have to be marketing yourself and you have to be a student of the game.

Helping find solutions to their transportation problems, or helping them buy their dream car. Developing those relationships so your customers come back to you, and send their friends and family to you, that is rewarding at many levels. Once you come to accept those first 3 requirements, it becomes fun.

What, in your mind, is a car wholesaler? Wholesalers occupy the spot in the supply chain between manufacturers and retailers. Are you talking about something like starting your own auto auction?
