Shopping for a vehicle at Bright Star Motors in Tacoma, Washington? 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 Bright Star Motors 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 Bright Star Motors 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 Bright Star Motors.
Auto financing is competitive. A little preparation before visiting Bright Star Motors in Tacoma, Washington puts you in a stronger position.

Everyone at Bright Star Motors was incredibly kind and helpful. I had just been in an accident and didn’t know exactly what I wanted. The owner was really patient and honest about the vehicles. He went over all the pros and cons of each car I looked at so I could make a decision that worked for me. I love my Audi Q7. I will recommend Bright Star to my friends and family for sure!
I had a great experience working with Bernard. He was such a kind gentleman. I’m excited about my new truck. I thought the price was very fair
Bright star motors helped my girlfriend pick a car that was right for her. We financed a 2013 Hybrid Jetta Se and they helped us through the entire process making sure we got the best possible deal. They also helped us get a warranty for what we needed and helped us avoid things that were unnecessary. Prices were extremely fair and very cheap for the quality vehicles on their lot. Their communication is some of the best I’ve received from a dealership with guidance through the whole process as my girlfriend is a first time buyer along with recommending credit unions and ways to save money while financing. Thank You Bright Star Motors!
What a great experience we had at Bright Star Motors!! We were test driving a car from another dealership when we passed by Bright Star Motors, I looked at the inventory that they had on their website and realized that they had the car that we were test driving, but in the color we wanted! We dropped the other car off and headed straight to Bright Star Motors. When we got there Jim helped us out, answering our questions and telling us about the different cars we were looking at. He was excellent! We purchased a Subaru Forester for my son with all the bells and whistles, in the color he wanted. The buying process was quick, but they took the time to answer the question that we had without being pushy. Thank you so much Bright Star Motors, you have earned repeat customers.
This is a great dealership! Don’t pass it by… Honest guys .. I usually stray away from smaller dealerships..This place is different Definitely give them a shot they have a great selection of vehicles and if they don’t have what you need, I’m sure they can get it. Just stop by and talk to these guys. If you are interested in anything they have I assure you you will drive away. Happy I worked with Jim The deal couldn’t have gone any smoother I would refer my friends and family to this place as well as buy another vehicle in the future. Thank you for your efforts in making this come to life.
