About Us:

Florida Direct Auto is an independent used vehicle dealer in Jacksonville, Florida that specializes in clean, hard to find vehicles at wholesale pricing. We have been in business here in Jacksonville since 2010 and between the 4 of us we have over 30 years of experience in the business, 10 of which has been in online sales. We keep our prices competitive because we have low overhead and we are run like a well-oiled machine. We trim out the unnecessary spending that a lot of other dealerships have and we also do volume instead of trying to make it all on one unit. All 4 of us are passionate about vehicles and we do our homework on each vehicle. As a business owner, I don’t want to put my hard earned money into a bad vehicle, so we actually drive and inspect the vehicles before we even purchase them.

We are approximately 20 minutes away from Fernandina Beach, which is a great place for a relaxing vacation with plenty of nice views of the ocean, golfing, great dining and plenty to see and do. A lot of customers from out of state (which is about 90% of them), like to sight see and make a vacation out of their vehicle purchase. Places like Daytona Beach, Saint Augustine, Orlando (Disney World, Universal, Epcot, etc.), Tampa Bay (Clearwater Beach, Busch Gardens) and more are popular spots.

If you have any questions about buying a vehicle or how the process works or just need some reassurance that we are a real company, please give us a call. We are Licensed, Insured, and Bonded with the State Of Florida so you can feel confident that your buying experience will be smooth as silk and pain free.

 

 

 

Vehicle Pickup & Shipping

 

Vehicle Pickup:

  You can either drive to our location with another driver, rent a car and drive it one way (We are right next to the airport so we can pick you up free of charge at the rental return), or you can fly in and drive the vehicle back and we will pick you up at the airport free of charge as long as you provide us in advance with your flight information.

 

Shipping:

  We can get you a shipping quote if you provide us with your zip code. We set the whole thing up to where all you have to do is take delivery from the transporter. Shipping is door to door so it comes right to your house or business, unless you have special instructions to ship it elsewhere. We do not use a broker so we cut out the middle man, which saves our customers anywhere from $100-$700 on shipping, depending on the vehicle and location so we will beat most shipping quotes that you get. Shipping typically takes 5-7 Business days but can vary depending on the time of year, vehicle size and delivery location. We are located right off of I-95 so it is very favorable for shippers, which makes the shipping cheaper since it is convenient.

 

Deposits:

  Deposit amount is $500 and is due within 24 hours at the close of auction or immediately if you use the Buy It Now feature. Deposits are not refundable unless there is a major mechanical issue with the vehicle (for example, a slipping transmission or an engine that is overheating or knocking but not for simple routine maintenance issues like brakes, tire tread depth or cosmetic issues like scratches, dings or imperfections on the exterior or interior) and we do this to protect ourselves from non-serious buyers. We pay a lot of money to list vehicles on here and we simply cannot afford to pay relisting fees because someone changes their mind or the vehicle doesn’t drive like they thought it would. We’ve been doing it this way for 7 years and we’ve rarely had any problems because we describe vehicles accurately, but as for every aspect of life you cannot please everyone unfortunately.
