I’m not sure about Oregon. But here in CA, your limit is two per calendar year without a license. If you sell your third car without a dealer’s or wholesaler’s license you will be fined per sale.
Some people try to use the loophole in the law by buying cars and not registering them. They’ll hold on to the reg and title that the seller signed off on. Then turn that over to their buyer so they won’t appear to be the middle man. But that can lead to some serious liabilities if the car doesn’t pass smog, if liens are owed on it, or of it breaks down after the sale. The new buyer will go after the one who sold it to them. Not the original owner.
