Autos Usados en Venta en Richmond, VA

There are a lot of one way streets and a lot of very old streets that barely have room for one car. There are also a vast number of students walking around and bicycling on the roads. So it is important to stay alert and using a navigation system will help you avoid paths going the wrong way.

There are a lot of dealerships in the Midlothian area of Richmond. The Mazda dealer there is amazing, had a large inventory and was exceptionally generous on the trade-in value. There are dealers all up and down the main road.

Richmond is a city of universities. It was also the Confederate capital during the Civil War. It is on the path of roads running from Florida to Maine along the East Coast. I95 intersects several of the highways around Richmond. To say this city covers the spectrum from historic areas to industrial spaces to the fast moving transit from north to south is accurate. My first experience in driving through Richmond was a trip to the airport from my home on the outskirts of the city. I was new to the area and relying on the nav system. As we entered the central part of the city, the signage on the road pointed to a different route than the one my nav suggested. Since I did not know any of these roads, I chose to follow my car's directions. In the midst of this, in the summer, a hail storm arrived almost instantaneously. Very distracting. However, following the nav, I arrived at the airport on time and only a little frazzled.

Powhite Parkway. It's all about the name. When I moved to VA, my daughter was working for a company that ran the toll systems for bridges and highways all over the country. This was the only location her company was working in Virginia, and it was right near us!

Richmond, like most big cities, is a bustling city which means it's filled with a good amount of hurried drivers. There's the typical highway rush that happens around 8 am, noon and again around 5 pm and on really busy streets such as Broad Street but learning the other routes and ways to bypass them makes a huge difference. Always best to plan out your route if you ever need to venture out around these times!

There are several dealerships throughout the city ranging from low budget used car sales to more popular dealerships such as GMC or Toyota. Depending on what you are looking for - a cheap car to get you from point A to point B type dealerships are all over the city. More high end dealerships are located in Short Pump (W. Broad Street) as well as regular local dealerships. Can never really go wrong with starting your search for a car on trusty old Broad Street

I used to be deathly afraid of the interstate when I first learned how to drive. The thought of so many cars in one area surrounding me at once was a scary thought! I remember discussing it with a friend who actually went with me the very first time I attempted the highway. I was nervous at first, but once I became comfortable of the other drivers, I thoroughly enjoyed it...Maybe too much. The realization of being able to drive faster than on a normal road was a blast! A 20 year old new driver with a newfound love for speed is an interesting situation. Needless to say, I learned the hard way how to control my "lead foot" and still enjoy the wonders of the highway.

Broad Street - Richmond. Broad Street is a very lengthy road in Richmond that goes from the downtown area all the way out to the "sticks" - the more rural area of the city. You can drive down Broad Street and find anything, I mean ANYTHING you need. From thrift stores to night clubs to bustling restaurants to high end shopping. Of course, once you drive towards the rural end of Broad, you'll start to see less of these things and more of horses, trees and deer, but even then, it's a nice drive for those looking for a more quiet & peaceful experience.
