Simple Process
Three Steps from Lot to Driveway
Our process works on your schedule and never includes a closing-room hard sell.
Step 01
Find Your Vehicle
Browse our inventory online or come visit. Every vehicle is photographed accurately and priced clearly — no asterisks, no hidden fees.
Step 02
Drive It Like You Own It
Take a real test drive — by yourself if you'd like. We'll have the vehicle's full history, inspection report, and warranty options ready to go.
Step 03
Drive Off Confident
Financing in-house or bring your own — we never mark up rates. Sign the paperwork, drive home, and remember: you have 7 days to change your mind.
Why Choose Us
Why People Drive Past Other Lots
Six commitments we make on every single sale.
- 200-Point Inspection
- Every vehicle on the lot has been through our 200-point inspection by ASE-certified technicians. No reconditioning is hidden from you.
- Transparent, No-Haggle Pricing
- The price you see online is the price you pay. No doc-fee surprises, no addendums, no four-square shuffle.
- 7-Day Return Promise
- Take any vehicle home for 7 days or 500 miles. If it doesn't fit your life, bring it back for a full refund — no questions asked.
- Honest Financing
- We never mark up financing rates. Bring your own bank or use ours — you'll see every line, including dealer reserve, before you sign.
- Full Vehicle History
- The Carfax, the inspection sheet, and any prior repairs are part of every listing. If we know it, you know it.
- Fair Trade-In Values
- Bring us your trade. We'll give you a real number based on auction comps, not a number designed to push you into something else.

Featured Review
“I dreaded the car-buying part of needing a new car. Cascade was the opposite of every dealership I'd ever been to — no pressure, no upsells, no four-hour ordeal. I drove off in two hours, and I love the car.”
“I came in with my own pre-approval. They didn't try to flip me to their lender. They just wrote the deal at the rate I had. That's how easy it should be everywhere.”
“I returned the SUV on day six because it didn't fit my garage. They refunded me without a word of pushback. I bought a different one from them the same week — they had earned the trust.”
About Us
A Family Lot, Run the Way We'd Want to Be Treated
Cascade Auto Group opened in 2008 when our founder, Dean Whitford, walked away from a corner-office sales job at a dealer chain because he was tired of how the business treated people. The pressure rooms, the rate markups, the $899 doc fees — none of it had to be that way.
We built Cascade on the opposite premise: list every car at a fair price, inspect it as if our own kids were going to drive it, and let people make the call without a salesperson in their ear. That is still how we run, sixteen years later.

FAQ
Questions Worth Answering Plainly
Buying a car shouldn't require a decoder ring. Here are the answers we wish more dealers gave.
- Q.01
What does "inspected" actually mean?
- Every vehicle goes through a 200-point inspection performed by our ASE-certified technicians. We replace what needs replacing, document what we did, and the inspection report is included with every listing.
- Q.02
Are there add-on fees at the contract table?
- No. The advertised price is the out-the-door price excluding only state-mandated tax and registration. We do not add doc fees, prep fees, addendums, or anything else.
- Q.03
Can I really return the car?
- Yes. You have 7 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first. Return it for any reason — fit, color, second thoughts — and we will refund the full purchase price. The promise is in writing on every contract.
- Q.04
Do you mark up financing?
- We finance through partner credit unions and banks at the same rates they would give you directly. We earn a small flat fee from the lender — never a marked-up interest rate. You will see the structure on the contract.
- Q.05
How does the trade-in process work?
- Bring it in or upload pictures and the VIN online. We will give you a real offer based on current auction values, not a lowball anchor. The trade offer is good for 7 days, and you do not have to buy a car from us to sell us yours.
- Q.06
Do you sell warranties or service contracts?
- Yes. We carry extended service contracts, GAP, and tire/wheel coverage from third-party providers. We mark them up far less than typical dealers, and they are optional — never bundled into the price quietly.

New cars depreciate 20-30% in the first year. Here's how to capture that value with a 1-2 year old vehicle while still getting modern features and warranty coverage.
