Every vehicle is certified at Front Line Auto — Oakland Park's trusted ASE-certified shop since 2005 — before it hits the lot.

Most BHPH lots can't diagnose what they're selling — Front Line Auto can.

How does buy here pay here work in Florida?

In Florida, buy here pay here works like this: you visit the dealership, provide proof of income and a valid ID, make a down payment (at Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales, starting at $1,000), and drive home the same day. No bank approval is required. The dealership holds the loan and you make weekly or bi-weekly payments directly to them. Florida law requires dealers to disclose all financing terms upfront. At FLAS, every vehicle is certified by Front Line Auto before sale and backed by a 90-day warranty.

Is buy here pay here a good idea?

Buy here pay here is a good idea for buyers who cannot qualify for traditional financing due to bad credit, no credit, or bankruptcy. Advantages: no credit check, same-day approval, and immediate transportation. The main drawback is that interest rates are typically higher than bank financing. At Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales, every BHPH vehicle is certified by Front Line Auto, our ASE-certified shop since 2005, and includes a 90-day warranty — which reduces the risk compared to other BHPH lots that sell cars without inspection or warranty.

How does Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales inspect cars before selling them?

Every vehicle goes through a full multi-point inspection at Front Line Auto before it hits the lot. As Omari Grant explains: 'The first thing we do when we bring in a vehicle from the auction is put it up on the lift and do a multi-point inspection — we check the oil and filter (automatic change), tires, brakes, belts, battery, and make sure everything is in good working order. Then we road test it and do a full system scan with our Autel IM-608.' You get the inspection report, and you get a 90-day warranty backed by the same shop that ran it. — Omari Grant, Owner & ASE-Certified Mechanic

Can your mechanics spot problems other dealers miss?

Yes — and it's saved customers from buying cars with hidden problems. At auction, Omari once spotted a car with a blown head gasket that other dealers missed entirely. 'The other dealers didn't know because they probably weren't able to spot that the head gasket was blown — the coolant pressure inside the reservoir was too high, and that excessive pressure indicates the head gasket is blown. Some dealers, they don't know jack. So they just bid blindly.' That expertise is what gets factored into every purchase price — and every car that reaches our lot has already passed Omari's inspection. — Omari Grant, Owner & ASE-Certified Mechanic

What diagnostic equipment do you use?

We use the Autel IM-608, a professional-grade full-system scanner — not a basic code reader. As Omari explains: 'The difference between a regular code scanner and something like my Autel is that we can do a full system scan on the car — it gives you the full vantage point of the whole car. You can find issues such as CAN communication codes, electrical issues, or ground faults. Regular code readers only give you basic engine function codes, like O2 sensors.' Every car gets a full system scan before it leaves our shop. — Omari Grant, Owner & ASE-Certified Mechanic

Does buy here pay here check credit?

No. Buy here pay here means the dealership finances you directly — no banks, no credit check. At Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales, approval is based on your income and ability to make payments, not your credit history. Whether you have bad credit, no credit, or bankruptcy, we work with your current situation.

Are buy here pay here lots bad?

Not all of them. The difference is inspection and warranty. Most BHPH lots sell cars as-is with no accountability. At Fort Lauderdale Auto Sales, owner Omari Grant is an ASE-certified mechanic who inspects every car at his own shop (Front Line Auto) before sale and backs every vehicle with a 90-day warranty. 4.9 stars from 75 Google reviews.

From the owner

“Most buy-here-pay-here lots can't diagnose what they're selling. We can. Every car goes on the lift, gets a full Autel system scan, and a road test before it hits our lot. Some dealers, they don't know jack — they just bid blindly at auction.”
