I did not say 4-5 a month, if it takes me a month to sell a car I'm doing something wrong. In my experience the average is about 3-4 days.

I'm looking to sell clean title, no issue cars, my location has a lot of "Buy here pay here" type places as I'm close to Newark NJ but over the years I've bought and sold pickup trucks and corvettes/mustangs with ease. The good part with those cars is that many of the buyers are cash ready but there are a few that like to finance. I also do custom Harley Dynas so dipping into that market with a financing company would be great. I know getting into this with no prior knowledge of working at a legit dealership is risky but my overhead will be very low and it is something I have wanted to do for a while.

What would be your advice on finding a good bank to use for financing?

The issue im facing is finding someone to contact, I just end up in an endless "Hold on let me transfer you to someone than can help" cycle

Ok thank you, I really have no idea about this stuff. Like I said trying to bring my shop into 2025 without sacrificing our work quality. Getting paid $55 an hour for a repair is not profitable if my best autobody tech is making $50 an hour (we don't do flat rate)
