What is a $500 down payment car?
A $500 down payment car is a used vehicle where a qualifying buyer can start the purchase with $500 applied as the down payment. At Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales, that option is available on eligible buy here pay here vehicles with no credit check; standard down payment is $1,000, and approval is based on verifiable income, South Florida residence, the vehicle selected, and the final written terms.
The $500 is not the full price of the car and it is not always the full amount needed to leave the lot. Before signing, compare the vehicle cash price, total amount due at signing, amount financed, payment amount and payment frequency, total of payments, insurance, and Florida tax, tag, and title costs.
The down payment is the first upfront amount applied toward the approved vehicle purchase.
Florida tax, tag, title, insurance, and any written closing amount are reviewed before you sign.
Income, residence, vehicle choice, proof documents, and the complete payment structure matter more than a credit score.
What $500 down changes — and what it doesn't.
The down payment is only one part of a used-car deal. The vehicle price, taxes and registration, payment schedule, financing term, trade-in credit, and warranty coverage all affect the full cost. We review those figures with you before you sign.
Confirm the down payment and any taxes, title, registration, or other disclosed charges due when you buy. Use our Florida out-the-door price calculator to prepare before your visit.
A weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly payment cannot be compared by looking at one payment alone. Compare how many payments you make each year and the total of payments shown in the written agreement.
Qualifying for $500 down does not mean every car will produce the same payment. Compare the vehicle price, mileage, insurance quote, and expected fuel use before choosing the car that fits your budget.
If you can put down more than $500 or have a trade-in, ask to compare both deal structures. A larger upfront amount can reduce the amount financed, but the written disclosures show the actual difference for your vehicle.
Your five-number comparison
Before signing, put these figures side by side for every vehicle you are considering:
- vehicle cash price;
- total amount due at signing;
- amount financed;
- payment amount and payment frequency; and
- total of payments.
Then add your insurance quote and normal ownership costs to your monthly budget. If a figure is unclear, ask us to explain it before you commit.
