Used car dealerships carry cars from many different manufacturers, while new car dealerships are generally franchises associated with only one or two manufacturers.
A new cardealer may mark up a car by less than two percent over the manufacturer's invoice cost, and typically the cardealer borrows from the manufacturer for inventory and pays interest (called flooring or floorplaning).
Car titles are issued and transferred by the individual states through their respective Departments of Motor Vehicles.
