imisidro gave you great state information but I thought I'd post some information specific to an auto dealership business.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* The Automobile Sales Manager's Complete Success Formula: A Current Guide to Managing a Profitable Car Dealership by Jon McCormick
* Cars and People: How to Put the Two Together by Ziegler
* Selling Cars: The Handbook of the Professional by Patrick Davis
* What You Need to Succeed: Making Car Sales a Career Rather Than a Job by Mike Radosevich
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
