Used Cars for Sales in Portland, OR

If you’re looking to buy a used car, the good news is there’s plenty of choice. Whether it’s a luxury auto, truck, SUV, or hybrid there are plenty of great used vehicles available to buy. You can find the most reliable used cars by asking the dealer the right questions and by picking a model that has a solid reputation. We take a look below at five car models which have proven to be very reliable.

Toyota Camry

The JD Power survey of car owners is a good measure of reliability, and the Toyota Camry has been included year after year. Consumer Reports has also rated the Camry for multiple years, giving the car extremely high scores repeatedly. First launched in 1979 with a more compact body, the modern Camry is a generous mid-size sedan that offers a comfortable ride. A good fuel economy accompanies its reliability to make it excellent value for money all round.

Nissan Maxima

With a JD Power Reliability score of 93, the 2021 Nissan Maxima is extremely hard to beat. Tried and tested tech makes the interiors familiar and easy to use, as well as providing confidence that this car is built to last. A V6 engine with 300 horsepower rounds off a strong package of features from this performance sedan.

Chevrolet Equinox

A small SUV with room for up to five passengers, the Chevrolet Equinox is an affordable option that offers great reliability. Since 2017, the car has delivered an outstanding performance. Scoring highly with Consumer Reports and JD Power, the modern used Equinox cars are safe, powerful, and trustworthy — the perfect combination.

Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang is a sleek, sexy, and highly desirable car, but there’s far more to this sporty vehicle than its stunning good looks. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) safety tests put the Mustang at the top of the charts every year, while drivers repeatedly rank the car highly. The 2021 model was the highest rated American sports car, according to Consumer Reports, making this model one of the hottest used cars around.

Kia Optima

Last but not least, the Kia Optima makes our list of the most reliable cars. Technically, this could qualify as two entries because both the gas and hybrid models score highly among drivers and reviewers. The gas model is particularly impressive, with the JD Power Survey ranking the Kia Optima as the best midsize car for 2019.
