To obtain a license, a dealer must have a designated location wherein proper and adequate facilities are required to be maintained for displaying, reconditioning, and repairing either new or used cars (place of business), unless the person sells motor vehicles at retail solely for the purpose of disposing of vehicles acquired or repossessed through the exercise of powers or rights given as security for loans or purchase money obligations.
