When the transferee of a vehicle is a dealer who holds the vehicle for resale and does not drive the vehicle or permit it to be driven upon the highways, the dealer shall not be required to obtain transfer of registration of the vehicle or forward the certificate of title to the department. However, the dealer, upon transferring his title or interest to another person, shall execute an assignment and warrant of title upon the certificate of title and deliver the same to the person to whom the transfer is made.
