At Bickmore Auto, we know buying a used vehicle isn’t just about finding the right car—it’s about finding the right loan that fits your life. Whether you’re shopping for your first vehicle, replacing an old commuter, or upgrading to a truck for work, our goal is simple: to make financing clear, comfortable, and possible for everyone. 

If you’ve ever felt nervous about applying for an auto loan, especially with less-than-perfect credit, this post is for you. Let’s walk through how our EZ financing process works, the loan options available to you, and why so many drivers in Portland and Gresham trust Bickmore Auto when it’s time to finance their next ride. 

Why Financing Matters Just as Much as the Vehicle 

You can find the perfect used car, SUV, or Ford F-150, but if the financing doesn’t work for your budget, the deal isn’t right. 

That’s why we structure our financing to meet real-life needs: 

• No high-pressure tactics 

• Custom loan terms to match your monthly goals 

• Flexible down payment options 

• Competitive interest rates from a network of local lenders 

• Programs for all credit profiles, from excellent to rebuilding 

Our team doesn’t just sell cars—we help you find a path forward. 

Who Qualifies for Bickmore’s EZ Financing? 

In a word: everyone. 

We believe credit history shouldn’t be a roadblock to safe, reliable transportation. Our finance department works with dozens of buyers every week—including: 

• First-time buyers 

• College students and recent grads 

• Families on tight budgets 

• Business owners needing a truck 

• Buyers with previous repossessions or low credit scores 

Even if you’ve been turned down at another dealership or bank, we may still be able to help you get approved with affordable monthly payments. 

What Are My Loan Options? 

We work with a wide range of banks, credit unions, and specialized auto lenders across Oregon. That means we can offer: 

• Standard auto loans with 36- to 72-month terms 

• Low or no money down options 

• Subprime financing for buyers with lower credit scores 

• Credit union partnerships with exclusive local rates 

• Buy here, pay here solutions for select buyers 

Our inventory is also curated to support your financing. For example, many of our late-model used cars and Ford F-150 trucks qualify for better interest rates due to mileage, reliability, and retained value. 

Use our finance calculator to run real-world numbers before you apply. 

How to Apply (In Less Than 5 Minutes) 

Getting started is simple—and there’s no obligation to move forward if you’re not ready. 

1. Head to our EZ Financing Application 

2. Enter your basic info, income, and preferred down payment 

3. Submit and receive a pre-approval decision, often within hours 

4. Browse our full inventory with a clear budget in hand 

5. Test drive your top picks, finalize paperwork, and drive away 

We handle all the legwork—including working with lenders, pulling approvals, and walking you through payment plans. 

What If I Have Bad Credit? 

Here’s the truth: your credit score doesn’t define your future. At Bickmore Auto, we’ve helped drivers across Portland and Gresham get back on the road—even after bankruptcies, late payments, or repossessions. 

We’ll work with you to: 

• Explain your options in plain language 

• Set a realistic payment plan 

• Secure a loan with manageable terms 

• Use your new auto loan to help rebuild credit over time 

If you’re dreaming of a dependable used vehicle like a Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, or Honda CR-V, your credit history shouldn’t stand in the way. 

Real Inventory, Real Support 

The best part? Our vehicles are priced with financing in mind. We regularly stock: 

• Used cars under $15,000 

• Used trucks under $30,000 

• Certified inventory with clean titles and service records 

• Fuel-efficient models to help offset monthly fuel costs 

And yes—we carry a rotating selection of Ford F-150 pickups, known for their long lifespan, strong towing capacity, and lower cost of ownership compared to newer trucks. Many are available with monthly payments under $500 depending on your financing plan. 

Ready to Apply? Here’s What You’ll Need 

When you’re ready to apply, it helps to gather: 

• Proof of income (pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements) 

• Proof of residence (utility bill or lease) 

• Valid driver’s license 

• Insurance details (or we can help set it up) 

Have questions or concerns about what you need? Our team will walk you through every step. 

Your Approval Is Waiting at Bickmore Auto

Looking for a tough, reliable pickup truck—but the price of a new one makes your jaw drop? You’re not alone. With average new truck prices soaring above $55,000, it’s no wonder so many drivers in Portland and Gresham are turning to used trucks as the smarter, more affordable alternative. 

At Bickmore Auto, we stock a wide selection of pre-owned trucks under $30K—including some of the most trusted names in the industry like Ford, Toyota, Chevy, and Ram. Whether you’re towing, hauling, commuting, or just need the versatility of a pickup, these used trucks are built to last—and priced to move. 

In this post, we’ll show you why buying a used truck is one of the smartest moves you can make in 2025—and we’ll highlight a few top picks available on our lot right now. 

Why Buy Used? The Real Value of Pre-Owned Pickups 

Let’s talk cost: A brand-new Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado 1500 can easily push $60,000 with mid-range trim and options. Even base models start in the high $40Ks—and that’s before tax, title, and fees. 

Here’s why buying used makes more sense: 

• Avoid rapid depreciation – New trucks lose thousands in value within the first year. 

• Pay less for more – You can afford higher trims, extra features, or 4WD without going over budget. 

• Get proven reliability – Many trucks today are built to last well beyond 200,000 miles. 

• Save on insurance and registration – Lower vehicle value = lower annual costs. 

That means when you shop for a used truck at Bickmore Auto, you’re not just saving money upfront—you’re saving over the life of the vehicle. 

What Makes a Great Used Truck? 

Not all used trucks are created equal. That’s why our team hand-selects inventory that meets key criteria: 

• Low-to-moderate mileage 

• Clean titles and no major accidents 

• Service records available 

• Proven durability and performance 

• Towing capacity and off-road capability for work or recreation 

We inspect every truck thoroughly and only feature vehicles that meet our reliability standards—whether you’re planning to tow a trailer to Mt. Hood or haul supplies for a renovation project in Gresham.

Summer in Oregon means weekend road trips, day hikes, beach outings—and higher gas prices. With fuel costs surging across Portland and Gresham, more drivers are asking one smart question: What are the most fuel-efficient used vehicles I can buy right now? 

At Bickmore Auto, we believe saving money at the pump doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort, safety, or style. We carry a range of affordable, fuel-efficient used cars that are perfect for commuting, summer travel, and everything in between. 

In this guide, we’ll highlight our top 5 fuel-efficient picks, break down their real-world MPG savings, and explain why now is the best time to buy—especially before mid-summer demand pushes prices up. 

Why Fuel Efficiency Matters More This Summer 

According to AAA, fuel prices typically spike between June and August due to increased demand, travel surges, and refinery output cycles. In the Portland metro area, this year is no exception. 

If you’re driving a full-size SUV or older truck that averages under 20 MPG, the cost of gas alone could add hundreds to your summer expenses. Now’s the time to upgrade to a more efficient ride—and lock in monthly savings that extend far beyond summer. 

Bickmore Auto’s Top 5 Fuel-Efficient Used Cars (Available Now) 

All the vehicles below offer excellent MPG, strong reliability scores, and affordability under $20,000. You’ll find them on our lot in Gresham and Portland—or online via our fuel-efficient inventory. 

1. 2020 Toyota Corolla LE 

• MPG: 30 city / 38 highway 

• Why It’s Great: Simple, stylish, and ultra-reliable. The Corolla is a commuter classic that keeps running for years. 

• Real-World Savings: Compared to a 20 MPG car, you could save over $700 annually in fuel costs at $4/gallon. 

2. 2019 Honda Civic EX 

• MPG: 32 city / 42 highway 

• Why It’s Great: Fun to drive, feature-rich, and one of the most dependable used sedans available. 

• Bonus: Still under factory powertrain warranty in many cases. 

3. 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE 

• MPG: 33 city / 43 highway 

• Why It’s Great: Modern design, smartphone integration, and unbeatable mileage. 

• Price Point: Many models available under $18,000. 

4. 2020 Mazda3 Hatchback 

• MPG: 28 city / 36 highway 

• Why It’s Great: Offers the perfect balance of sporty performance and fuel efficiency—plus cargo space for weekend gear. 

• Portland Bonus: Great handling in urban traffic or along Hwy 26. 

5. 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid 

• MPG: 44 city / 37 highway 

• Why It’s Great: If you need more space than a compact sedan, this small SUV delivers hybrid efficiency without sacrificing cargo room. 

• Crossover Appeal: Perfect for families and longer commutes in the Gresham hills or down to the coast. 

Honorable Mention: Used Ford F-150 EcoBoost 

You might be surprised to see the Ford F-150 on a fuel-efficiency list—but late-model versions with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine can achieve up to 26 highway MPG while delivering serious towing power. 

It’s an ideal option for those who need utility and want better fuel economy than traditional V8 trucks. We keep several used Ford F-150s in stock with EcoBoost options under $25K. 

Fuel-Efficient Doesn’t Mean Bare-Bones 

Each of the vehicles listed above includes modern conveniences like: 

• Backup cameras 

• Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity 

• Touchscreen infotainment systems 

• Safety features like blind-spot monitoring and lane assist 

At Bickmore Auto, our goal is to help you save on gas without giving up comfort or peace of mind. 

Financing a Fuel-Saver? We’ve Got You Covered. 

If your goal is to save money on gas, chances are you’re also trying to keep your monthly payment manageable. That’s where our EZ financing options come in. 

We offer: 

• Quick online pre-approvals 

• Flexible loan terms to meet your budget 

• Credit-friendly programs for first-time buyers or those rebuilding 

• Partnerships with Portland-area credit unions and banks

With summer road trip season in full swing, many drivers in Portland and Gresham are looking to upgrade their vehicle before hitting the open road. But here’s the secret to getting the best deal: it’s not just about finding the right car or truck—it’s about securing the right auto loan before you start shopping. 

At Bickmore Auto, we make financing easy and transparent for all buyers. Whether you’re a first-timer, rebuilding your credit, or just want to avoid high interest rates, this post breaks down exactly how to lock in the best financing terms before your summer travel plans begin. 

Why It Pays to Prepare Early 

Most buyers wait until the last minute to think about financing. But with lenders tightening requirements and interest rates fluctuating, your best move is to get pre-qualified before you step on the lot. 

Here’s what early financing prep can help you do: 

• Know your budget and monthly payment range 

• Improve your credit terms by addressing small issues beforehand 

• Move quickly when the right vehicle hits the lot 

• Avoid higher interest rates during peak summer demand 

And if you’re eyeing high-value models like the Ford F-150, early loan approval could be the difference between securing the deal—or missing out altogether. 

Step 1: Understand What Affects Your Auto Loan Rate 

Getting the best rate starts with knowing what lenders are looking for. While each financial institution may vary, most auto loan rates are based on: 

• Credit score – Higher scores = lower rates 

• Loan term – Shorter terms typically come with better rates 

• Down payment – The more you put down, the less you finance 

• Vehicle age/mileage – Newer vehicles generally qualify for better rates 

• Debt-to-income ratio – Lenders want to see you can comfortably handle monthly payments 

The good news? You can still get a great deal even if you’re not working with perfect credit. At Bickmore Auto, we work with a network of local lenders and credit unions to offer competitive rates across the board—including options for those with limited credit history or recent challenges. 

Step 2: Know Your Score and Fix Small Issues 

Before applying, pull your credit report (free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com) and review it for errors. Even something minor—like an old account showing an incorrect balance—can impact your rate. 

If your score is borderline, take these steps: 

• Pay down credit card balances 

• Avoid new credit inquiries 

• Catch up on late payments 

• Don’t close any long-standing accounts 

Need help understanding what lenders look for? Our EZ financing team can walk you through your options and suggest small steps to boost your chances of approval. 

Step 3: Get Pre-Approved (It’s Easier Than You Think) 

Pre-approval isn’t just for new cars. At Bickmore Auto, we help used car buyers get pre-qualified in minutes, whether they’re shopping in person or online. 

When you apply online, our system securely gathers your info and matches you with lenders offering the best rates based on your profile. Pre-approval gives you a firm idea of your purchasing power—so you can shop smart and confidently. 

Plus, pre-approved buyers often get priority vehicle access, especially on hot-ticket items like late-model Ford F-150s, Mazda CX-5s, and Toyota RAV4s that sell fast in the summer months. 

Step 4: Explore Your Financing Options 

At Bickmore Auto, we make financing flexible. Whether you’re looking for low monthly payments, zero down options, or shorter terms with faster payoff, we’ll help tailor a loan that fits your goals. 

We offer: 

• Traditional auto loans through banks and credit unions 

• Subprime options for those with less-than-perfect credit 

• First-time buyer programs 

• Special low-rate bundles during monthly promotions 

• Loan terms from 24 to 72 months 

Use our finance calculator to experiment with term lengths and down payments. You’ll be able to see what fits your budget before committing to anything. 

Step 5: Match the Right Vehicle to Your Loan 

Now that you’re pre-approved, you can shop with a clear budget in mind. We recommend pairing your loan rate with a vehicle that gives you: 

• Low mileage and good resale value 

• Fuel efficiency or towing capability, depending on your needs 

• Strong reliability ratings 

• Room for your lifestyle—whether that’s family, work, or weekend trips 

Many buyers pair their summer financing with versatile vehicles like the Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-5, or Ford Escape. But if you’re planning to tow trailers, hit off-road trails, or need real work-ready durability, you can’t go wrong with a pre-owned Ford F-150—especially while inventory is strong in early June.

Whether you’re upgrading your daily driver or getting ready for cross-state summer adventures, the smartest road trips start with a pre-approved loan and a budget-friendly vehicle that fits your lifestyle. 

At Bickmore Auto, we’re here to help you: 

• Understand your loan options

If you’ve been sticker-shocked by the price of new vehicles lately, you’re not alone. With average new car prices pushing well past $40,000, many buyers in Portland and Gresham are looking for smarter alternatives—and that’s where Bickmore Auto’s used SUV inventory under $25,000 comes in. 

At Bickmore, we help buyers stretch their budget without sacrificing quality, features, or style. Whether you need a family vehicle, an adventure-ready ride, or a gas-saving commuter with extra space, we’ve got options that look and feel like new—without the price tag. 

In this post, we’ll highlight some of our top SUV picks under $25K, compare them to similar new models, and show you why buying used is one of the smartest financial moves you can make this summer. 

Why Choose a Used SUV Over a New One? 

Let’s talk numbers. 

A brand-new midsize SUV like a 2025 Toyota RAV4 or Ford Edge starts between $35,000 and $45,000—and that’s before dealer fees, taxes, or optional features. Factor in depreciation (most new vehicles lose 15–20% of their value in the first year), and you’re essentially paying thousands more just for that new car smell. 

In contrast, our used SUV inventory offers: 

• Low-mileage, late-model vehicles with plenty of life left 

• Monthly payments that make sense for real-world budgets 

• Certified condition and inspection guarantees 

• Comparable features to many new models—including AWD, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, and more 

And unlike some national chains, we keep dozens of these budget-friendly SUVs priced under $25K, updated weekly at our Portland and Gresham locations. 

Bickmore’s Top SUV Picks Under $25K 

Here are some real inventory examples of SUVs we routinely feature—and why they’re a great deal: 

2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD 

• Price Range: $21,500–$24,000 

• MPG: 24 city / 30 highway 

• Why It’s a Winner: Stylish, comfortable, and sporty with a premium interior feel. Comparable to a luxury brand at a fraction of the price. 

2019 Subaru Forester Premium 

• Price Range: $19,000–$23,000 

• MPG: 26 city / 33 highway 

• Why It’s a Winner: Legendary AWD capability for Oregon roads, plus a roomy interior and solid reliability scores. 

2020 Toyota RAV4 LE 

• Price Range: $23,000–$25,000 

• MPG: 27 city / 35 highway 

• Why It’s a Winner: The gold standard for dependable crossovers. Safe, fuel-efficient, and easy to maintain—this one checks all the boxes. 

2021 Ford Escape SE AWD 

• Price Range: $22,000–$24,500 

• MPG: 26 city / 31 highway 

• Why It’s a Winner: Great tech features, a smooth ride, and a refined cabin make this a smart choice for families and commuters alike. 

Bonus: Ford F-150 SuperCrew (Select Models Under $25K) 

• Why Mention It Here: While technically a truck, select used F-150s from 2014–2016 come in under the $25K mark and offer SUV-like passenger space with serious towing power. Perfect for drivers who want utility and comfort in one. 

Explore current Ford F-150 options before they’re gone—these trucks don’t sit on our lot for long. 

The Cost Comparison: Used vs. New 

Let’s say you purchase a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD from Bickmore for $23,000 instead of a new 2025 model for $37,000. 

Here’s what you save: 

• $14,000 off MSRP 

• Lower insurance premiums 

• Less sales tax 

• More value per dollar with many of the same safety and tech features 

And because most of our SUVs have already experienced their steepest depreciation, you retain more value if you decide to trade in later. 

Financing a Used SUV? It’s Easier Than You Think. 

Buying used doesn’t mean compromising on financing. In fact, our EZ financing team helps Portland- and Gresham-area buyers secure loans with: 

• Competitive interest rates 

• Flexible terms and low down payments 

• Options for all credit backgrounds 

• Quick pre-approvals online or in-store 

Use our finance calculator to estimate your monthly payments and apply in minutes.

If you’re in the market for a used car, truck, or SUV in Portland or Gresham, timing matters—and there’s no better time to buy than right now. June is one of the most buyer-friendly months of the year thanks to a perfect storm of inventory, incentives, and seasonal buying trends. 

At Bickmore Auto, we help Oregon drivers make smart decisions about when and what to buy. Whether you’re upgrading before a summer road trip, replacing a worn-out commuter car, or finally ready to get behind the wheel of that Ford F-150 you’ve had your eye on, here’s why June is the moment to move. 

The Post-Memorial Day Inventory Surge 

While Memorial Day weekend is often seen as the big kickoff for car shopping season, what many people don’t realize is that June is when the real inventory advantage begins. 

• Trade-ins from May promotions hit the lot 
  Customers who purchased new vehicles over the holiday weekend often traded in high-quality used cars, trucks, and SUVs. That means our inventory is freshly stocked and full of value. 

• Dealers prep for end-of-quarter sales goals 
  June is the last month of Q2, and dealerships are motivated to move metal before closing the books. That means aggressive pricing, flexible financing, and incentives. 

• Increased selection = better deals 
  With inventory replenished, buyers have more choice—which naturally creates better pricing opportunities as dealers compete for attention. 

Explore our full inventory of used vehicles to see what’s available today, including customer favorites like Mazda CX-5s, Subaru Foresters, and yes—even Ford F-150 pickups built for Oregon adventure. 

Seasonal Buying: Why Summer Makes Sense 

Summer in Oregon means road trips, outdoor adventures, camping, and long drives with family or friends. That makes June an ideal time to upgrade before vacation season really kicks in. 

You want your vehicle road-trip-ready, and that means: 

• Trustworthy performance 

• Cargo space for gear and passengers 

• Fuel efficiency (or towing strength, if you’re looking at a truck) 

• Comfort and tech features for longer drives 

Don’t wait until July when the best options are picked over—lock in a vehicle that fits your summer plans and your budget now. 

Browse our used SUV inventory or check out used trucks if you’re planning to tow trailers, boats, or campers. Our Ford F-150 options in particular are known for towing strength and long-haul comfort—perfect for a summer that’s packed with adventure in and around Gresham and Portland. 

Incentives and Dealer Flexibility 

Because June falls between the Memorial Day surge and Fourth of July clearance sales, many buyers overlook it—which is exactly why dealers often extend quiet incentives and flexible pricing during this month. 

At Bickmore Auto, we’re: 

• Offering competitive pricing across every category 

• Willing to work with a range of credit scores and down payments 

• Adding new trade-ins to the lot weekly 

• Featuring several used vehicles priced under $10,000 

Combine that with our EZ financing process, and it’s clear: June buyers get access to the best selection and more negotiating room—especially in competitive markets like Portland and Gresham. 

Get Pre-Approved Before Summer Gets Busy 

Summer isn’t just about vehicle inventory—it’s also peak season for financing volume. That means longer wait times at banks and slower responses from lenders. 

Bickmore Auto helps you skip the hassle. When you get pre-approved online, you’ll: 

• Know exactly what you can afford before stepping onto the lot 

• Save time during the purchase process 

• Be in a stronger position to act quickly when the right vehicle shows up
