Used Cars for Sale in Fayetteville, NC

Rely heavily on GPS for the first few months! I learned quickly that the road signs in Fayetteville, and in North Carolina in general, are really terrible. I found it very difficult to get around. Another thing that is really hard to learn to maneuver around is the constantly changing names of some ... (more) streets. It can start with one name, change in half a mile to another name, then change to yet another name in a mile, and then a 4th name in another mile or two. Also, most street names have a numbered name that locals refer to it with... it's all very confusing. USE GPS!

Ramsey St. and Morganton Rd. - I like to drive on these 2 streets the most because they have almost everything I ever really need.

My favorite memory of driving in Fayetteville is actually getting on any road that will take me out of Fayetteville. Fayetteville, is the home to one of the largest Army bases in the United States. With that said, there is a huge population of young men and women from every state of our great nation ... (more) . Unfortunately, young drivers tend not to be the most safe drivers and lack experience. When there is a huge transplant of people coming from all parts topography and terrain ( farmland, flat land, mountains, cities, rural, below sea level, above sea level, wet land, deserts, winter conditions, non-winter conditions etc.) Really effects the driving skills of individuals. Frankly, driving in Fayetteville is scary! I see two to three accidents daily on my short 3 mile commute to work.

After leaving work after an evening shift (about 10 pm), the roads were almost entirely clear (only a few cars on the road).
