Home › Answers › Do I need a cosigner to buy a car in Fort Lauderdale?
Often, no. Many Fort Lauderdale buyers assume they need a cosigner and are surprised to get approved on their own. Elite Edge Auto Broker works with lenders that weigh steady, provable income over a perfect credit score, so bad-credit, no-credit and ITIN buyers frequently qualify solo, sometimes with $0 down. A cosigner with strong credit can help you land a lower rate or a nicer vehicle, but it isn't a requirement to get approved. Before you ask family to sign for you, let us check what you qualify for on your own income — most people don't need one.

What's a better alternative to buy here pay here in Fort Lauderdale?
