Class C (Used Vehicle Parts Dealer) and Class R (Automotive Recycler) - These dealers buy or otherwise acquire late model major component parts for resale, either at wholesale or at retail, and/or acquire vehicles to dismantle for the resale of their parts, selling the remains as scrap. These are the only classes which can legally buy late model distressed vehicles (salvage or scrap vehicles) or late model major component parts from insurance companies, or through auctions, brokers, or salvage pools in Michigan. Class D (Broker) - This dealer "brokers" the sale of vehicles or late model major component (salvageable) parts by arranging (or offering to arrange) for the sale of the vehicles or parts between two parties. A broker may not take ownership of the vehicles or major component parts. Class E (Distressed Vehicle Transporter) - This dealer may: 1) buy or acquire ownership of, 2) transport, and 3) sell scrapped or junked vehicles only. Vehicles may be sold at wholesale only to: 1. Used Vehicle Parts Dealers (Class C); or 2. Scrap Metal Processors (Class F); or 3. Automotive Recyclers (Class R). This dealer may NOT dismantle vehicles or sell parts. (Note: A vehicle "crusher" is one type of distressed vehicle transporter.) Class F (Vehicle Scrap Metal Processor) -This dealer processes vehicles into scrap metal by shearing, fragmenting, baling, shredding, etc. (Crushing vehicles is not considered a scrap metal process since it is not the final step before remelting.) A scrap metal processor who acquires vehicles only from licensed dealers is not required to be licensed but must keep certain records and make them available for inspection. Class G (Vehicle Salvage Pool) -This dealer engages in the business of storing and displaying damaged or distressed vehicles for insurance companies. Class G is compatible only with Class D. Class W (Automotive Wholesaler) - This dealer engages in the business of buying and selling used vehicles from and to licensed vehicle dealers. A wholesaler may not buy, sell or otherwise deal in vehicles to a person other than a licensed vehicle dealer.
