Who isn’t on a tight budget these days?  You already know that buying a used car is going to save you lots of money over buying a brand new model at Richmond Ford.  For those drivers who are apprehensive about buying used, there is always the certified pre-owned option that gives you the peace of mind with an extended warranty.  The next time you find yourself used car shopping, make sure you pay special attention to the hatchbacks.  They offer you a great bang for your buck and the newer models come with tons of features that drivers love.  Rome Chevrolet has had great success with the sales of their Chevy Aveo hatch.

For 2010, the Honda Fit was the number one hatchback in America.  It has ten cup holders and back seats that fold completely flat giving you tons of cargo storage room.  Now that 2011 models are rolling out, you might be able to find a used one, so keep your eyes peeled.  Macon Ford has been a busy place with the 2011 Ford Fiesta rolling onto their lots, but perhaps you will see a used Ford Focus hatchback on the lot.  This car was really popular when it first rolled onto the markets, and the used models are just as reliable but now they have a lower price tag.

For people who are still dead set on getting a sedan, you need to open your eyes a bit wider to see all the perks of owning a hatchback.  Many people who buy a hatchback love it so much that they never go back to a sedan.  If you have pets, it is nice to be able to load them up in the back and keep your backseat pet hair-free for your backseat human passengers.  If you frequently need to carry large items, you can fold down the back seats and have lots of room for taller items than you could place in a trunk.  Plus, hatchbacks always start at a lower price than their sedan counterparts.
