what if i don't see anything in your inventory that works for me?
Question
I need a vehicle, true. But, I don't see anything in your inventory that I like or that I can afford. How can you help me?
Answer
New inventory is constantly flowing in as vehicles are being purchased. If we don't have what you want now, and you don't want to wait around hoping we do get something you like, let us know.
In many cases we can let our sourcing team know to look for a particular vehicle. The challenge is finding a vehicle you like and getting it for the private party pricing we strive so hard to secure. This process can takes weeks, and in some cases longer.

can i buy a car with no money down through your program?
Question
Can I purchase a vehicle through you guys without a down payment?
Answer
There are two ways to purchase a vehicle. #1 you can pay for it with cash or a check from your bank. #2 you can apply for an in-house payment plan with us.
Try your bank first
The down payment is a term often used when you want to purchase a vehicle and finance it. You should schedule to sit down with a representative from your bank. Ask them if they require a down payment and if they would approve you for financing. You already have a banking relationship with them, so it seems plausible that you're more likely to get financing with great terms from them.
If we refer you to a lender, no matter how good or bad your credit is, you will most definitely have to bring a down payment to the purchase. The amount will vary based upon your credit score and the price of the vehicle.
Our Payment Plans
If you can't secure a loan from your bank for some reason, then we may offer special short-term assistance with an in-house payment plan.
The great benefit of a payment plan with us is that we do not charge any interest on the balance owed. We also don't charge any extra fees or add any extra costs to help you with a payment plan.
(1) You would be required to pay 50% of the purchase price upfront.
(2) You would have to prove that you could afford larger payments (weekly or bi-weekly).
(3) You would have to pay off the vehicle within a short period of time, say 4 to 6 months.
*Ask our advising team about the eligibility requirements for the payment plan.

how does financing a vehicle work with your program?
Question
How does financing work with our program?
Answer
We will refer you to a lender first. If that doesn't work then we will typically offer free credit counseling to help you get your credit profile where it needs to be so that you can get approved with your bank or another lender.

why don't we offer a warranty on our vehicles?
Question
Why don't we offer a warranty on our vehicles?
Answer
It is impossible to know when your vehicle will experience a mechanical issue. A vehicle can be running great one moment and not so good the next moment. When it comes to buying a used vehicle you should have the proper expectations. It's going to need mechanical repairs. If you know that now, then we would suggest that you start a savings account so that you can be prepared for it.
The other option would be to purchase a warranty on your vehicle. You have to pay for this. If you think the warranty you got on that vehicle from another dealer was free, think again. The price of that vehicle included the "cost" of that warranty. Our prices are already well-below retail. There is no room to include or embed the cost of a vehicle warranty into the purchase price.
The dealer who is offering you that warranty must have a special license to "sell" warranties. Yes, we said "sell". Up to 60% of the cost of a warranty is paid out to re-sellers in the form of commissions. They can show you the cost of that warranty in the bill of sale but they don't have to disclose to you how much their kick-backs are. We do not agree with this practice. Our solution is more risky but practical. Instead of spending money on something you may or may not need, we suggest saving money.
If you absolutely want Peace-of-Mind, and you want to purchase a warranty, you can use google to research the best auto warranty companies. click here for the consumer report list. Do your homework on each company before purchasing. Read the customer reviews to determine a pros & cons list.
We also suggest establishing a relationship with a mechanic. If you can't find one, we have several independent mechanics that we work with that can provide their labor for 1/3rd of what a typical shop would charge and 1/4th of what the big dealerships charge. You buy the parts and they provide the low-cost labor. This could be the best and most cost-effective way to be prepared when your vehicle needs repairs.

What the difference in cost for a new tag compared to transferring an existing tag?
Question
What is the difference in costs from a new tag compared to an existing tag?
Answer
The cost of a tag is dependent upon several factors. Transferring an active tag will costs significantly less than purchasing a new tag. The state of Florida charges a $225 impact fee or "new wheels on the road" fee as they like to call it for new tags. There are other costs like lien fees, registration fees, which fluctuate based upon the weight of your vehicle.
Here's the average costs.
(1) New Tag: $400 (+/-) $10 to $20
(2) Transfer Tag: $200 (+/-) $10 to $20

why can't i handle my own taxes, tag and title?
Question
Why can't I pay my taxes, transfer my tag and deal with the DMV?
Answer
In order to legally sell vehicles in the state of Florida we have a dealer's license. By having a dealer's license we have to complete all DMV related affairs. This should be a good thing. It's convenient. You don't have to figure anything out. We handle all the documentation and paperwork for you. We collect and pay the taxes for you and best of all you don't have to drive to the DMV and wait to be seen.
Unlicensed auto sales are almost untraceable. This means the state of Florida can get cheated out of taxes and the IRS can get cheated out of income taxes.
We don't have a choice in this matter. All transactions are handled by a licensed title agent in our office. When a vehicle is being registered through the DMV the first thing the title agent looks for is "chain-of-title".
Every vehicle we purchase has the dealers name that we use on it. You can't change or alter a title. The dealer is required by law to properly document the buyer's information on the title and submit other documentation to the DMV supporting the proper chain-of-title.

how do i know i'm getting a great price on the vehicle i like?
Question
How can I be sure that I'm getting a great price on a vehicle?
Answer
What determines a great price? Is $100 below retail value a great price and how do we know what the retail value is?
In most cases, a vehicle that is listed on our website will include value assessment information from companies like Kelly Blue Book, TrueCar, CarFax, NADA and Edmunds. We often use an average between these value assessment sources. An average retail value and an average private party value.
We try to acquire inventory that is in very good condition or better with a private party price point. Sometimes this becomes difficult because the longer we hold onto a vehicle the greater the cost we have into that vehicle. It costs to keep vehicle cleaned, maintained and insured. We also incur costs on the proceeds that we use to purchase a vehicle. Vehicles are not given or donated to us. We take out a loan to purchase each vehicle we acquire. That loan comes with fees, interest payments and curtailments. Again, the longer we have a vehicle in inventory the more money we have tied up into it and the more likely we are to have to increase the price. For this reason, we try to only acquire vehicles that we can purchase that are 15% below private party. This typically gives us the breathing room needed on a vehicle while we wait for it to be sold.

can i trade my vehicle in?
Question
Can I trade my vehicle in and if yes, how does it work?
Answer
You can bring a vehicle to us for evaluation. We will consider purchasing it from you but in most cases we prefer to help you sell it and get more money for it. Trading-in a vehicle is not usually in your best interest. Why? In order for us to purchase it from you we have to offer you a price that is below private party pricing.
That lower price has to account for any repairs or reconditioning your vehicle may need. The price we offer you will be lower than private party value because we have to turn around and sell it for private party pricing. To avoid a "loss" we would never be able to buy your vehicle at retail value or at private party value. Our goal is to acquire vehicle below private party so that we can help you buy it at or just below private party pricing.
The lower price also has to account for marketing costs, staff, insurance and other costs that we have to consider.
If you sell your vehicle yourself to someone else then you are more likely to get a higher price. The buyer purchasing your vehicle doesn't have the overhead or program parameters that we do and can give you more for your vehicle.

can i return the vehicle if i don't like it and get a refund?
Question
Can I return a vehicle for a refund?
Answer
We do not take vehicles back after they leave the premises. We also do not offer refunds. The moment a vehicle leaves our property the transaction is final. Many customers have admitted that after buying a vehicle from us, their friends or family told them they didn't like the vehicle. They would try to get us to take it back. This happens more often then you might think. This is not good business. Many customers have admitted trying to bring a vehicle back after realizing something about the vehicle they don't like that was there the whole time.
These are used vehicles with thousands of moving parts. In some cases, customers buy a vehicle and something mechanical breaks down within a few days or weeks after the purchase. The vehicle ran great during the test drive and before it left the premises. We have no way of verifying whether the mechanical issues were present before the purchase, or occurred because of operator error and/or due to mis-use of the vehicle. Nobody can predict when the AC, timing belt, power steering pump, brakes or any of the other thousands of parts in a vehicle will stop working. The only thing a consumer can do is save money and be prepared. Plan on the vehicle needing mechanical repairs sooner or later. We do have independent mechanics that offer their services for 1/3rd of what most shops charge and 1/4th what the big dealerships charge. Depending on the mechanical issue, we may be able to refer you to one of these independent mechanics to save money.
If you absolutely do not want the vehicle you purchased from us, we may work with you to sell your vehicle and help you purchase a different vehicle.

where does our inventory come from?
Question
Where does our inventory come from?
Answer
Approximately 90% of our inventory comes from new car trades from one of several big dealerships. We get a list of vehicles each week and our team of professionals filter through the list and select the best vehicles to inspect. These experts look over each vehicle carefully to ensure they fit the parameters of our program. We look for late model vehicles that are mechanically sound. We also look for vehicles that are relatively "clean". We look for vehicles that have a solid history of being maintained by the previous owners.
We try to avoid vehicles that have any mechanical issues. We use online resources like CarFax and AutoCheck, along with others to ensure the history of the vehicle meets our standards.
Approximately 10% of our inventory comes from vehicles that we purchase from consumers. Although these are not typically trade-ins they are vehicles that were brought to us by individuals that needed to sell their vehicle with little to no concern about being able to get more for it if they sold it. These vehicles are also inspected and we consider the information being reported by CarFax just like the others before we commit to purchasing them.

Why do we have a dealer's license?
Question
Why do we have a dealers license?
Answer
Having a dealer's license comes with many benefits. We have a dealer's license to help protect you. All dealers are governed by the state of Florida and have to follow stringent rules to ensure the public is protected. You're less likely to run into problems such as purchasing a vehicle that is labeled a lemon or a vehicle with undisclosed salvaged labels.
Private sellers are not bound by the same state and federal laws that dealers are. Expect way more "foot-work" looking for a good car from a private seller. You have to do your homework on every single vehicle and hope that you find the right one without any issues.
You and a private seller have to figure out how to write up a proper bill of sale and calculate the state taxes and take all of that to the DMV in person and pay to have a tag transferred. If you don't fill out the title properly you could run into serious delays in getting the transfer of ownership completed. Another issue you could have is if the vehicle has a bank name on it or lien and you pay the seller who is unable to change the title. Now, you don't have your money and you can't title your new vehicle. These issues can often lead to multiple trips to the DMV and over-all headaches that you don't have to deal with when you purchase through us.
If you're concerned about paying extra for these services, then fear-not. We only charge you the taxes, tag, title, registration and DMV related fees.
The only real benefit from purchasing from a private seller is getting a lower private party price. We price all of our vehicles at or below private party pricing so you don't pay retail pricing. On the other hand, you come to us and we have a variety of vehicles that all have been inspected, that are priced at private party and you get a free CarFax.

what's the difference between kbb and the other value assessment companies?
Question
Why is KBB different than the other value assessment companies?
Answer
NADA, CarFax, Edmunds and TrueCar all provide retail values for dealers and consumers. Whereas, KBB exclusively reports private party values NOT retail.
We use KBB when determining our acquisition formula. The advantage this gives you is having the lower private party pricing you would normally get if you were avoiding dealerships and retail prices.
