Granted we’re a bicycle based company and believe cycling should take over the world and businesses, humbly we must admit that cars do have their uses. Family trips to Eugene or Seattle for instance, or nice little weekend getaways at the coast with you and your sweetheart. Cars are also apparently (reminder this is only speculation) quite helpful for toting bicycles and other heavy objects over large distances.

So now that we’ve established reasoning to have a car, lets talk about actually buying one. One unfortunate part about buying these metallic beasts is affordability, amIrite? Then the other downside is knowing what you’re in for when you’re shopping and whether or not you’re getting a decent rate. Really, auto buying can sometimes be a traumatic experience. Well our friends from Point West are back with a couple events to ease the stress and prevent the trauma!

As your trusted ear on the streets, we at Portland Pedal Power ( food delivery services and Portland knowers of knowledge) must say that Point West Credit Union is pretty kick awesome. We appreciate the fact that they are there for their the people, to keep the people properly informed, and help however they can. That being said, they are holding an event tomorrow, September 20th, from 12-1pm called the “Auto Buying Lunch & Learn“. Point West has teamed up with auto shopping service Auto Mentors in an effort to teach you the ins and outs of buying a new car as a means better prepare you for your next big investment.

After bestowing this knowledge upon the people, the partnered Point West and Auto Mentors will give you the opportunity to put your knowledge to use as they hold a new and used car sale Saturday, October 6th (See details below).
