C&X Auto Sales

Washington Avenue in the Bronx has long been a stretch where practical needs meet the pavement—auto shops, bodegas, and the occasional used-car lot that’s been there since the era of vinyl dashboards. C&X Auto Sales fits right in, a no-frills dealer that keeps things simple: pre-owned vehicles, plainly priced. The inventory shifts with the seasons, but the approach doesn’t—no flashy ads, just metal and rubber parked in rows out front. If you’re hunting for a second car or a first set of wheels without the new-car markup, the place at 1805 Washington Ave, Bronx, NY 10457 might have what you need. They deal in used goods, so the selection is whatever rolled in last week; call (718) 294-2200 to ask what’s on the lot. For directions, pull up the map before you head over—some blocks out here still confuse GPS.

Most people who stop by already know the drill: kick the tires, take a test loop around the neighborhood, and haggle in the office if the numbers make sense. It’s the kind of transaction that’s been happening on this avenue for decades, and C&X keeps the tradition alive without fanfare. Nothing fancy, just a spot where the Bronx gets back on the road.
