Why Fall is a Great Time to Buy a Used Car 

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, fall is not only a time for cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes—it’s also one of the best times to buy a used car. At Bickmore Auto in Gresham, Oregon, we’re here to help you take advantage of the seasonal benefits that make fall an ideal time to find your next vehicle. Here’s why you should consider making your purchase this autumn. 

End-of-Year Clearance Sales 

One of the biggest advantages of buying a used car in the fall is the opportunity to take advantage of end-of-year clearance sales. Dealerships are eager to move inventory to make room for new models arriving later in the year. This often translates to significant discounts and special promotions on quality pre-owned vehicles. At Bickmore Auto, we offer some of our best deals of the year during the fall, so you can drive away with a great car at a fantastic price. 

More Trade-Ins and Increased Inventory 

Fall is also a time when many car owners trade in their current vehicles to upgrade to the latest models. This influx of trade-ins means that our inventory at Bickmore Auto is particularly robust during the fall months. With a wider selection of used cars, trucks, and SUVs to choose from, you’re more likely to find the perfect vehicle that fits your needs and budget. 

Ideal Weather for Test Drives 

The pleasant weather in fall makes it an ideal time to visit our dealership and take potential vehicles for a test drive. Without the extreme heat of summer or the cold of winter, you can fully experience the car’s performance, handling, and comfort in comfortable driving conditions. Plus, fall’s clear and mild weather allows you to inspect the vehicle’s exterior and interior without the rush of inclement weather. 

Preparing for Winter 

Buying a used car in the fall gives you ample time to prepare it for winter. Whether you need to install winter tires, check the heating system, or stock up on emergency supplies, purchasing your vehicle in the fall ensures you’re ready for the colder months ahead. At Bickmore Auto, our vehicles are carefully selected to ensure they’re equipped to handle the demands of winter. 

Financing and Trade-In Opportunities 

Fall is also a great time to explore financing options and trade-in opportunities. With the holidays approaching, dealerships often offer special financing incentives to help make your purchase more affordable. At Bickmore Auto, we work with multiple banks and credit unions to find the best loan package for your financial situation, ensuring you get the best deal possible.
