Cars for Sale in Oregon

If you’re of a certain age, hearing the name ‘Oregon’ is certainly apt to materialize memories of digital excursions and the (seemingly) inevitable death via dysentery as you blazed through the Oregon Trail game on your fifth grade teacher’s Apple ][ computer.

Of course, the Oregon Trail was very much a real thing and not just something relegated to 8-bit pixels in your history class and Oregon is so much more than just its history as part of Westward expansion. There is so much natural beauty to be found, the likes of which can only be found along the Pacific coast.

And with so much natural beauty to behold, it’s not a wonder that driving is such an integral part of life for Oregon residents. For instance, the average Oregonian drives 11,884 miles per year and they do so in one of the 3 million vehicles registered on the state’s roads. There is a wealth of automobile dealerships throughout Oregon with cars for sale, 1,225 to be precise. Many of those help to contribute to the nearly $6 billion in new car sales seen in the state and help keep afloat the 38,716 auto industry jobs to be found.

Like many states, Oregon isn’t without its own idiosyncrasies. For instance, did you know that Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state in the country? Or that Oregon and New Jersey are the only states without self-serve gas stations? Eugene, OR was the first city in the country to have one-way streets and the town of Hood River prohibits the act of juggling without a license.

Just be sure that when in Oregon, you don’t leave your car door open any longer than is necessary. That’s against the law.
