My folks owned a Saturn Vue. It was a wonderful vehicle to drive. Of course, it had a Honda engine and transaxle in it...
You know what we would have if everyone in the country drove Pink Car?
Look at the demographics on the sales.
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.
Sorry, can't stay. ...running fast.
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.
It's called an "engine".
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 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.
Honda, that would help. :)
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.
