New cars are great, since you\u2019re the first person to get behind the wheel, but the second you drive it off the lot, it depreciates in value. At Beaverton Car Company, we want you to know that you can get a quality car for less, without the fear that you\u2019re losing money the second you drive away. In case you\u2019re still wary about purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, we have a few tips on what to look for when you\u2019re buying a used car, in hopes they might help you gain peace of mind throughout the shopping process.<\/span><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Welcome to Beaverton Car Company\u2019s Blog!<\/h4>\n<p>Hello! Welcome to Beaverton Car Company\u2019s blog! We\u2019re glad you\u2019ve stumbled upon us. While you\u2019re here, we\u2019d like to formally introduce our dealership and our large variety of services. The first thing we like everyone to know is that we\u2019re a no-pressure dealership. If you\u2019re coming to our lot to browse, we\u2019re not going to put you through the uncomfortable pressures that you normally find at a dealership. We want you to be comfortable from the second you walk onto our lot, whether or not you plan to purchase.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beavertoncarcompany.com\/blog\/used-cars-and-service-center-in-beaverton-or\/\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\" >Read More<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/bscolumns]<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Age and mileage<\/h3>\n<p>This one might be fairly obvious. If you\u2019re looking on a used car lot, make sure that you\u2019re finding a model that doesn\u2019t have one foot in the grave (so to speak). Don\u2019t write off an older car if the mileage doesn\u2019t look too awful &#8211; it\u2019s very possible that the vehicle is in good condition still. On the other side of the coin, be careful when you\u2019re looking at high mileage vehicles without also investigating the car\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<h3>Vehicle history reports<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re in the process of purchasing a new-to-you vehicle, make sure that the dealership is providing you with the appropriate information about the car you\u2019re looking at. It\u2019s important to know whether or not the vehicle has had many previous owners, accidents, etc. in order to make sure the value of the vehicle is being considered when it\u2019s being sold. If you do this, you\u2019ll be a happier car owner down the road.<\/p>\n<h3>Your trade-in value<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another thing you may want to consider is <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beavertoncarcompany.com\/value-your-trade\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\" ><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your current vehicle\u2019s trade-in value<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. If you\u2019re about to embark on a larger purchase, it\u2019s nice to know whether or not you\u2019ll be able to put some money toward that purchase right off the bat! At Beaverton Car Company, you can buy, sell or trade your vehicle! Check out the tool on our website that helps you figure out the value of your current vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>If you\u2019re feeling good about a used car purchase, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beavertoncarcompany.com\/used-cars-beaverton-or\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\" >check out our inventory<\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to look for when buying a used car When it comes time to purchase a car, you may debate between buying new or used.
