Autos Usados en Venta en New Orleans, LA

Don't drive! New Orleans was laid out for horse and buggy and doesn't make sense. Maps do not help because one way streets end and pick up in weird ways. The boot is also a favorite tool of the meter maids. Almost anywhere you park in the French Quarter is a good spot to end up with the boot on your ... (más) car. That will cost you big time. Take the street car or a taxi if you don't want to end up frustrated. One more word of advice... if you take a cab, check the distance you're going in advance because they will drive around needlessly - thinking you won't know the difference - and run up the fare.

It's like anywhere else. Be careful and do your due diligence. Do watch out for flooded cars if they are pre-2005 though. Check car facts to be sure the title is good.

I had to get to an exam for the end of my master's degree. I left an hour early to have plenty of time and felt relaxed and ready to perform well, but I ran into a random and routine road stop and realized I had to get my papers out for the police. One of my papers was missing and the officer said h ... (más) e could boot me if I didn't find it immediately. I spent an hour on the phone trying to get my neighbor and then explaining where to find the paper in my filing cabinet. She brought it to me and I gave it to the cop. I was 3 hours late for the exam and the class was dark and empty. I called the teacher and explained. It wasn't a problem, but my face was swollen for 2 days from crying at that silly traffic stop. That's New Orleans for you. It's okay to have an open container of alcohol - illegal but unenforced - but give the city a chance to make some hefty fines and all bets are off. They're relentless.

St. Charles Ave. - River Road is scenic and peaceful. It curves around and feels like the country in the middle of the city.

Make sure for your first time going to new Orleans you talk to someone who is used to driving in that area because for first timers going there its a really intimidating place with lots and lots of people are cars coming from every direction at all times.

Be careful where you shop in new Orleans because a lot of automotive places there sell things cheaper but not necessarily the best quality of vehicles. They might have a lot of problems with the car that you don't know about when you purchase it and only find out about it once it happens to you. B ... (más) e sure to go to a registered facility who is well known around those parts so communication with people who have bought cars there is vital. Make sure to read lots of reviews about it.

My favorite memory from driving in New Orleans was when I was first learning how to drive and my father who was born in New Orleans was showing me the ropes of how to drive in the big city. I was only used to driving in the suburbs and here I was driving on bridges that seemed be at least a thousan ... (más) d feet high and different bridges over bodies of water and it was extremely intimidating for a new driver to encounter such things. At least it was for me anyway. It was an awesome driving experience learning all these things for the first time in my little Tacoma and also was an great memory driving with my father who was amazing when it came to driving especially in congested areas. I made so many mistakes being that it was my first time in the city area for example some of the interstates have like 6-7 different lanes merging from all different directions and some people where coming from ramps both below and above you. Needless to say it was quite the whirlwind getting used to driving in the city. The coolest part about it was that being so new to this kind of area to drive in I somehow managed to come out in one piece and My dad only continued to teach me more and more. I would say that is my most memorable experience.

Elysian fields avenue - Its a nice broad kind of road in New Orleans and when I got to drive there with my father it was late at night and extremely serene but still had life to it. Nothing to elaborate but except its a place with a lot of charm to it.

Driving downtown in the city is very fast paced. You have to be cautious AT ALL times. There's many people walking and crossing the streets on every corner, specially going down Canal street. It is a very busy city 24/7. The lights change quickly, so definitely be watching out for that.

I would go to the lots on Causeway Blvd. There are numerous dealerships in that area. If you aren't in that area and are actually closer to the city, I would look in East New Orleans. I would shop all around and not make a fast decision. I would refrain from Craig's list if possible. I wouldn't want ... (más) you to get ripped off by an individual. Definitely have your car checked by a mechanic before going through with the purchase!

I love driving in the city of New Orleans, especially at night. I enjoy driving down the interstate in the downtown area because of all the tall buildings lit up. It's such a beautiful sight. During different times of the year some of the taller buildings are lit up according to the season. There's ... (más) one in particular that is very tall and lights up Mardi Gras colors and Christmas colors. Another spot is closer to New Orleans east on the interstate, when you go over what's known as the "Dolly Parton" you are able to see down the river. More than likely my most favorite part of driving, if I had to pinpoint just 1 thing, would be going by City Park during the Christmas season and seeing all the lights on display. I really simply enjoy looking at the scenery of New Orleans and all the lights!

Chef Menteur Highway 90. - I enjoy riding down the 9 mile stretch that is an island, known as Lake Catherine, in New Orleans East. I just love looking at all the boats on the water and all the big beautiful homes that have replaced what was once mostly all fishing camps out that way. It's pretty quiet and peaceful and the peo ... (más) ple are very friendly. At the end of the island, before you cross the new big bridge there is Fort pike. You can park there and enjoy the water and the boats entering the canal there. If you decide to go there you'll definitely want to have a camera for sunrises or sunsets!
