About Richmond Auto Exchange
Richmond Auto Exchange specializes in affordable honest used cars in the Richmond VA area. Most of our used car inventory will need some repair work but we make a good-faith effort to list known issues.
Honesty
Richmond Auto Exchange is a small independent used car dealer in South Richmond, Virginia. We rarely have more than 30 vehicles for sale but each one will always be unique. A used car dealer selling cheap crappy cars is nothing new. What is unique here is the honesty we bring to the table. Our team makes a point to identify as many of the issues as possible creating a detailed list. Richmond Auto Exchange has earned a reputation for being honest and for this reason, we have a lot of regulars that buy from us monthly and even weekly.
Humor
Why stop at honesty and not take it a step further? Many of the cheap used cars for sale on our lot have stereotypical if not ironic issues. Nissan Altimas with front-end damage, Dodge Trucks with bad transmissions, sketchy old vans that smell like bum fights. All of these put the potential for comedy gold on the table and we make a point to eat it up like an ungarded chocolate cake at fat camp. In addition to our reputation for behind honest about or delightfully trashy used cars, we are equally well known for our humorous ads where we highlight the cream of the crap for sale in Richmond.
Ugly Cars
We are often asked what the deal is with “Ugly Cars” and it’s pretty simple. It’s no secret that RVA Auto X is affiliated with several cash-for-junk-cars places as well as salvage yards. Ugly Cars is a place where all of these things come together under one brand, now with a national reach! Through partnerships, franchises, and affiliate marketing Ugly Cars connects those wanting to sell ugly cars with others willing to buy them. Richmond Auto Exchange just happens to be where it all started.
We are the curators of crap, the peddlers of problematic piles of junk. For the foreseeable future, we will be here 3 days a week to offer up the cream of the crappy used cars in RVA. If you have low expectations we have the low prices you are looking for. But wait, before you smash that “Is this still available?” button or show up at the lot, let’s get a few popular questions answered for you.
Question: Is your website up to date? Are all the vehicles listed available for sale?
Answer: YES, The vehicle is available if the ad is up. We push that “sold” button faster than you can click “Is this still available?” every single time one goes out of the gate. Please note the “vehicle status” in RED on each listing if you are not sure.
Question: Do your vehicles come with a title?
Answer: YES, We have a title for the vehicles we sell. It’s even in our business’s name, not a questionable reassignment, and ready to be transferred to yours.
Question: Are you negotiable on price?
Answer: YES, We are happy to negotiate (a little) but ONLY in person. If you think our prices suck, and they often do, wait for us to list it for sale by auction on UglyCars.com/auction/ where it’s gonna go CHEAP.
Question: Will you hold a vehicle for me?
Answer: NO, we will not hold the vehicle for you, not even with a deposit.
Question: Do you offer financing?
Answer: NO, we do not offer any kind of financing. Cash & Carry ONLY.
Question: Can you deliver the vehicle?
Answer: NO, we do not deliver but we can give you the numbers to several towing companies.
Question: Will you come show me a vehicle after hours?
Answer: NO, we will not meet you after hours or on the weekend. None of us live in Richmond, being home to see our Family & Friends in the evenings and on weekends is more important to us than selling these cars. <3 Question: I am far away, will you hold the vehicle, meet me after hours, or adjust the price to help cover the cost of shipping the vehicle to me?
Answer: NO, being a great distance from us does not qualify you for an exception to any of the things mentioned above.
Richmond Auto Exchange is located at the corner of Castlewood Rd & Dale Ave in Richmond VA. The gate entrance is on Dale and we ask that you please street park on Dale ave and walk in the gate instead of attempting to drive inside. Our sales office is located at the FRONT of the building facing Castlewood Rd.
Meet the Staff
Jason

Michele
Michele works hard on the purchasing end of things making sure we are fully stocked with the cream of the crap.
Sophia
Sophia also works in the purchasing department making sure we are fully stocked with the cream of the crap.
Roscoe
Roscoe works in the advertising end of things and if you see him at the lot he will probably pretend not to work here.
If after reading all of that you think one of us is still worth talking to, come on by. The lot is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays @ 4404 Castlewood Rd, Richmond, VA, 23234 from 9-5. Check out crappy cars, talk smack, and trade memes. However, if you show up right at lunchtime it will have a negative impact on negotiations. We specialize in vehicles that have a few dents, scratches, and or mechanical problems. We will be as upfront as possible and tell you about any problems we know about and this knowledge can save you money but when you buy from us, plan for it to have a rejection sticker and to need a tow to get it home safely.
