And to think all this time I just thought the Saturn was a pizza chit. I guess ya learn something every day ; )

My folks owned a Saturn Vue. It was a wonderful vehicle to drive. Of course, it had a Honda engine and transaxle in it...

They know women men are more rational, and more likely to stick to a budget. They know men women are more emotional and spend more. Older women people are more skeptical because wisdom comes with age; I worded corrected that last sentence myself.

Too many words and no picture.

I have always chosen and purchased our cars. All hubby does is sign the paperwork. He just doesn’t want to deal with it.
Like you I have researched it and know exactly what I will pay for it. The last 2 purchases have all been done online except for signing the paperwork and picking up the car.
I have walked out of dealerships because the male salesman tried to treat me like an idiot. Once we were sitting in the dealership and when the salesman addressed Hubby he replied....talk to my wife, she’s the accountant. lol There used to be a commercial like sometime after he made the statement.

Are you saying that my generalization is wrong, or that you are an anomaly?

I’ve known some shrewd female negotiators, but the vast number of women I’ve known have a great disdain for haggling, while most of the men pride themselves on it, even when they aren’t very good at it.

Turbo charger, one of the most expensive things to fix on a motor.

Good one! Mine has taken over 3 closets in 3 rooms. I have a sock drawer and two others. That’s it, except for the big metal box in the master closet.

What I want is a saleperson that recognizes an anti-social person who really wants to get this over with. I came in knowing exactly what car I wanted down to the VIN (pending test drive of course) with financing lined up. Still 5 hours to navigate the whole world. 5 hours of chit chatting with friendly sales people just about killed me. Would be nice if they could spread the word “not social, wants to sign the papers and go home” and put it on the fast track, don’t worry if I’m not making you earn your commission, just keep shoving paperwork in front of me.

Wait a minute. We are always told there is no difference between guys and girls in pretty much anything, just as good athletes, infantryman, everything, so why would tastes be different. Treat them all the same.

They want a car that tells them they are beautiful

They also want a car that tells them that dress doesn't make them look fat ....

In other words: they want a car that LIES to them.

After 25 years of vans and SUVs when we had kids at home, I went to the Ford dealership to make my first purchase for myself.

I had done the research, and found that the 6 cylinder Mustang had 305 horsepower and was fun to drive.

You should have seen my husband’s face when I pulled into the garage.

That is one reason why woman make less then men. They don’t like to haggle. Broad brush yes but liberals say that it is because they are devalued but that is not true. The boss just says ok when they hear what the woman’s salary offer to work is.
