Yard report from Portland, OR: Rose City Econo Cars runs about 66 vehicles, weighted toward budget commuter cars. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 14 years on the books.
Lot address: 5266 Value St, Portland, OR. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Portland lot gate.
- Doc fee: $499, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 83% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 6-month powertrain warranty on newer units.
Lane verdict: caution flag. Two units had title status answered vaguely on first ask. Nothing provably wrong, but this board's rule is: vague on titles once, verify everything twice.
