At Palm Auto Florida, we make it easy and transparent to buy used cars in Florida, whether you're shopping in person or looking to buy a car online. Here’s everything you need to know about reserving a vehicle with us:
You can reserve any available vehicle from our Palm Auto Used Cars Florida inventory for up to 2 days-free of charge.
- Day 1 begins the moment you notify us of your intent to reserve a vehicle.
- Day 2 is the following calendar day.
During this time, the car will be marked as reserved and will not be sold to anyone else, giving you peace of mind as you finalize your decision.
If you'd like to hold the vehicle for more than 2 days, we require a deposit of at least 10% of the car's listed price.
- This deposit will be applied to your final purchase price if you move forward.
- The vehicle will remain exclusively reserved for you beyond the initial free reservation period.
Whether you visit our dealership or buy a used car online, this process helps secure your vehicle confidently.
Deposits for extended holds (over 2 days) are non-refundable, unless:
- The vehicle does not match the photos or description listed on our website, or
- A certified vehicle inspection reveals major issues with the engine or transmission.
We accept deposits only via Zelle or wire transfer. Once the deposit is received, the vehicle will be securely held for the agreed-upon time.
Whether you're local or shopping from a distance, our goal is to make your experience smooth, transparent, and stress-free.
