Most mfgrs frown on this. I know of a grocery store chain in south texes that tried to do just that They were turned down flat. Mfgrs have franchise areas that only allow factory accounts to sell to customers in other areas. There is usually a profit split when they do. About the only people who would do this are the China based mfgrs. Deal with them and you will get the real meaning of true cost. Your best bet would to get a factory account status. units and parts are discounted ,and you would have factory support. A factory account also has to follow pricing guide lines established by the mfgr reguardless of the location.. You would not have the headache of running a dealership as you would have to sell to everybody who wants to buy the brand of units you want to sell.
