Advice for Women Who Shop Alone (Car Buying Tips)

This car buying advice is to all the women car buyers out there. Women who shop alone typically complain that it's very difficult to find help at car dealerships. Salesmen are usually quick to greet most customers, but when they see a woman come in alone, they wait for the new guy to help her. Some of you might find this offensive, but I'm speaking the plain truth as to why I think women car buyers are discriminated against at many car dealerships.

If you’re a woman who is shopping for a car, all of the techniques in this book still apply to you. There is one thing extra that I might add. Here is some personal insight into why I think women who shop alone do not get very attentive treatment at the dealership.

Almost all salesmen work on commission. They want to know that if they spend time with you that they at least have a chance of getting paid for their time. The problem is this and it really is nobody’s fault. Women often take up hours of a salesman’s time. That’s not a bad thing because men do the same thing. The difference though is that when the salesman asks for the sale, men are more likely to be a decision-maker than women are. Women often say, “Let me check with my husband. Do you have a card?” For a salesman, this is one objection that cannot be overcome and it is one that occurs frequently with women customers. Men often buy without their wife’s input.

That may sound sexist, but I can guarantee you that salesman all over America would agree with it.
