I’m not sure about that last part. I’ve purchased a vehicle from a company before. A used work truck.

Either way… I’m not buying a car from Amazon.

In at least some states, to sell more than XX cars per year, you must have a dealer license.

A company vehicle is really no different than a personal vehicle, at least not in this context. They own a truck (titled to them), they can sell a truck via private sale. They don't get any sort of dealer perks (such as not being listed in the history as an owner), they are just selling their property.
