* Tourism: Florida is a major tourist destination, with over 112 million visitors in 2019. This large influx of tourists creates a demand for rental cars, which are cycled through and often sold as used cars.
* Snowbirds: Florida is a popular destination for "snowbirds," who live elsewhere but spend the winter in Florida because of its warmer climate. Many snowbirds bring their cars down to Florida for the winter and then sell them before returning home.
* Retirees: Florida has a large retiree population, many of whom choose to downsize their vehicles or get rid of them altogether. This creates a surplus of used cars in the market.
* Accidents: Florida has a high rate of car accidents, which results in a large number of totaled cars that are sold as salvage or rebuilt. These cars often end up in the used car market.
* Weather: Florida's humid, salty environment can be tough on cars, causing them to rust and deteriorate more quickly than in other climates. This can lead to a higher demand for used cars as buyers look for vehicles that are less likely to be affected by the elements.
