How $500 down actually works.

No bank middleman. Approval is based on your income, not your credit score. Most customers are approved in under 30 minutes — bad credit, no credit, prior bankruptcy, all welcome.

“The non-negotiables on every car are engine, transmission, tires, and brakes — all good to go. Doesn't matter if you're putting $500 down or paying cash. Same inspection. Same warranty.”— Omari Grant, Owner & ASE-Certified Mechanic
Four things. That's all.
No mountains of paperwork. No credit bureau checks. Just four simple items.
Driver's license or state-issued ID. If you do not have a license yet, read the no license required car buying guide; a licensed driver is still needed before the vehicle is driven. ITIN holders welcome — we don't require SSN.
Recent pay stubs or 2 months of bank statements. Self-employed? We accept Cash App, Venmo, Zelle history too.
Utility bill, lease agreement, or any official mail with your name and current Florida address.
From $500 down if qualified. Standard down payment is $1,000. Trade-ins can cover all or part of your down.
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.
