It is an old trick by unlicensed dealer's to park their vehicles in public shopping center's to make it appear that it's just a private sale. Don't do that.

In Florida, motor vehicle dealers are licensed and regulated by the Division of Motor Vehicles under Section 320.27 Florida Statutes.
The Law
Florida law states that any person, firm partnership, or corporation that buys, sells, offers for sale, displays for sale or deals in three or more motor vehicles in any 12-month period is presumed to be a motor vehicle dealer and must have an appropriate license issued by the State.
License Types
There are four classes of licenses issued to motor vehicle dealers. They are:
Independent Dealer--for a person dealing in used motor vehicles only. This license permits the licensee to transact business at retail or wholesale.
Franchise Dealer--allows the licensee to sell new motor vehicles under an agreement with a manufacturer. This license also permits the licensee to sell used motor vehicles.
Wholesale Dealer--licensees may only buy from, sell to, and deal at wholesale with other licensed dealers.
Auctions--are licensed to sell, on behalf of licensed dealers, through the bid process. Auctions may not sell retail.
Application
Before going into the business of selling motor vehicles, a person must submit a completed application, with required documentation and fees. License applications may be obtained from any Division of Motor Vehicles' regional office.
