How TT Motors Trader & Consignment Changed the Car Sales Game

People used to dread buying used vehicles. They knew they'd have to deal with a pushy salesman who'd pressure them into paying too much for a vehicle with a host of hidden problems. TT Motors Trader & Consignment was the first significant attempt to change the image of used vehicle selling.

The company launched into online used vehicle sales by opening the first TT Motors Trader & Consignment in Beaverton, , in 2013. The decision isn't as odd as it sounds: the executives figured they could apply their retail strategy — wide selection, solid warranties and knowledgeable salespeople — to sell cars, trucks, boats, trailers and any vehicle that could pass the pre-inspection. Prices were non-negotiable, and sales staff's commissions were based on the vehicle asking price.

Since it's opening in 2013, TT Motors Trader & Consignment thrived. The company has sold more than half a million vehicles and operates 2 locations around the country.
