Buying at Dealer Auctions in Florida: From Registration to Your First Car

For newly licensed Florida dealers: get registered, read condition reports, use arbitration, count the full cost, and finish the title, tax and records after you buy.

Course Overview

An online course for newly licensed Florida dealers buying their first cars at dealer-only auctions. It follows a purchase in the order you will make it, from registration to putting the car on your lot, and cites the Florida law and the auction rules behind each step.
