Shopping for a vehicle at Avant Garde in Portland, Oregon? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask Avant Garde if a report is available for any listing.
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask Avant Garde if a third-party inspection is permitted.
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at Avant Garde.

After decades in the high-end car business, we decided that there had to be a better way to market and maintain high-end vehicles for collectors and enthusiasts—so we established the Avant-Garde Collection, a dynamic collection of vintage, exotic, and collectible vehicles, supported by our in-house sales, marketing, and service expertise. Avant-Garde's remarkability is the product of our team's collective experience and enthusiasm for specialty vehicles, our in-depth knowledge of countless marques and models, our attention to detail, and our focused attention to each client's needs. The proof...
I'm not sure it's possible to love a place any more than AGC. From my first interaction with their team- through the process of them storing my car while I moved, they were awesome. It's obvious how much they care and it's great to experience it in person. They've answered my questions and helped me get my car registered as well after my purchase. I am looking forward to continuing my relationship with the shop and the people (and getting to be around immaculate cars never hurts too!).
As Avant-Garde's transport broker for 18+ years, I have personally sent over 1000 different carriers to pick up their vehicles to be taken to their clients across the country. They are a 5-star outfit on every level - It's just that simple. From first class customer service on one side to dealing with the many carriers I send their way on the other. I am in the middle of most transactions as I get to talk to their buyer and the carriers I have hired to do the transport. There is never an issue. Everyone goes out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. I should know, I have dealt with many unscrupulous dealers in the past who treat everyone with equal distain! Conclusion: Genuinely good people offering a world class experience.
Amazing service top to bottom. Taylor, Tyler and the rest of the team at AG have been great to work with. The quality of the work is top notch, and their reputation speaks for itself on Bring A Trailer. Very fortunate to have them here locally in Portland.
I always enjoy my visits to the Avant-Garde auto shop, where there are always amazing cars to see being worked on or detailed back into their former glory. The facilities are well kept and I would not hesitate to recommend the business to anyone.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steffanie at Avant Garde in both Portland and Arizona, and every experience has been excellent. She’s professional, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring everything goes smoothly from start to finish. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch service.
