Oregon Bad Credit Auto Dealers: Giving a Chance Where Nobody Else Will


Even with your best effort in managing your finances, there may come a time when you would be forced to take out a line of credit and encounter certain problems. Now if you need to buy a car while your credit line is bad, be ready to run into some thorns along the way. Bad credit could dampen your spirit when you urgently need to buy something like an auto. You can’t even rely on companies that promise to erase all your bad credit. Dana Dratch, writing for Bankrate.com, says there’s still hope, as being saddled with bad credit does not necessarily render you incapable of buying a car. It does put you, though, at a disadvantage when you need to rely on banks or lenders to finance your car on loan. Here are some scenarios.

Portland Car Dealers: Best Places to Buy Quality Pre-owned Minivans


Minivans have unfairly reaped quite a bad rap, but there’s no denying that people still buy them for utilitarian purposes. You may have heard of some minivan owners thinking of unloading their rides for more familiar road fare like SUVs, crossovers, or sedans. On the bright side, this phenomenon has produced quite a number of quality minivans in the used car market. The supposed drop in popularity, however, has not daunted several top automakers from rolling out new minivan models for 2015 and 2016. You might want a minivan for yourself as well, especially if you’re driving routine includes chauffeuring your family around or transporting things you need. An article in Consumer Reports, “Minivan Buying Guide”, is a good source of information for making your minivan choice this year. Check out used auto dealers in Portland, such as Seaport Auto Wholesale, for the latest inventory of pre-owned minivans and assess the following.

When Oregon Used Car Dealerships Got the One Quality Ride You Need


Having your own car is a good investment, particularly if your job requires you to go places for any purpose. An article for U.S. News and World Report, however, suggests that while you may be eager to put your hard-earned dollars in the newest ride in the lot, don’t count out just yet the one that has had some miles in the odometer. Pre-owned vehicles can be hot picks for the discerning motorist. With people inclined to go out and travel these days due to a recent drop in oil prices, having a good-quality pre-owned vehicle from one of the Oregon used car dealerships like Seaport Auto Wholesale would be a big boon to the pocket. Here are some things to consider about getting pre-owned cars.

Test-Driving the Ideal Car

Some cars for sale in Oregon dealerships appeal to specific buyers. Even with a large lot, at least one can tug you and make you think a good deal’s all it takes with driving it home. However, looks can be deceiving, and the only way you could judge a car once and for all is to take it out for a spin. Some pointers to take note of, though.

Fitting Snugly
Every auto marquee has their own takes on interiors, which means not everyone can really fit inside. The key is for your seats to be easily adjustable in helping you get a better view of the window. At the same time, the adjustments should enable you to reach and control the steering wheel without too much strain on your arms.

The Ins-and-outs of Buying a Used Car

Used cars depreciate less than new ones, which is why they are a cost effective purchase. While there are additional things to do when buying used compared to new, it proves a better investment in the long run.

One thing in common between buying used and new is that you have to know what specific car you want (although not knowing can also be fun). Cars with low mileage are the best buys, and keep in mind that the average annual mileage is about 10,000, so it’s best to check this out. Any higher would mean that the car was used a lot. It’s also advisable to check the value of the desired car online so there will be a clearer picture of what the average price range would be.
