Can you believe it’s been almost a month since we hosted a party with over 90 guests to launch our first Consumer Confidence Comic, Purchasing a Used Car? We want to give a huge shoutout to our friends, family, colleagues, and collaborators for joining us on June 14 to celebrate the launch of this new educational resource. The event was unforgettable!
Explore key tips for buying a used car. Learn to avoid common pitfalls that support informed choices at the dealership.
You did everything right in purchasing your used car from a dealer. Despite this, before long, you start experiencing problems. First, it’s a check engine light, then next, it’s overheating, leaking fluids, or you hear a knocking noise from the engine. Your next steps at this point are critical if you want the dealer to make things right.
Our comic offers tips and insights for purchasing a used car with confidence.
OCJ is thrilled to introduce "Purchasing a Used Car," its inaugural Consumer Confidence Comic. This comic combines a used car buying guide with an interactive coloring book for all Oregonians.
If buying a used car, you may need financing for your purchase. For many consumers, auto financing is a complicated and hard-to-understand process, even for those who have previously financed vehicles. Learn how financing works and how to maximize financing on your next vehicle purchase.
Watch out for common auto scams and schemes to help you make informed decisions and keep your car buying journey on track.
Last spring, OCJ set the stage to regularly seek the input of consumers through a representative statewide survey. In October 2023, we built on those results and asked new questions to understand how a variety of consumer issues are experienced throughout Oregon.
While still on track to begin broadly taking consumer clients later this year as announced last November, we are thrilled to share that just before the new year, OCJ filed our first consumer case!
In spring 2023, OCJ engaged with the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center to conduct a statewide consumer survey. The survey results are helping us to better understand consumer protection matters through the lens of a representative sample of Oregonians.
