My primary motive for having a retail location is just to fulfill the requirements of the retail license... not to actually attract street traffic with "JOE'S AUTO BLOWOUT!" signs all over the place. The plan is to generate the traffic online... via Ebay and CL, and similar auto listing sites.
In California, the DMV limit without a license is 1 car per year... they want to regulate anything done "for profit".

generating the traffic online isn't so much a 'plan' as it is a 'reality'. If you have no newspaper/radio/etc ads, almost all your traffic will be CL/kijiji/autotrader etc, as well as any referral traffic
with all honesty, get your license and just curb to start off. you'll be able to slowly get the hang of it without exposing yourself too much
