Car Buying Tips for Women
What Women Need To Know Before Entering The Car Salesmen Pit
According to a recent CarMax Inc. poll that surveyed more than 16,000 women, buying a car still remains a hassle for women. “Like most women, I am extremely busy juggling my career and family and I need things done quickly, without any hassles,” says Donna Wassel, regional vice president for CarMax, in news release.
Wassel offers these tips for women car buyers:
•Do your homework: Use the Internet to research vehicle types, makes, models, options, features and prices. If you plan on buying a car, bring the title and registration for your current vehicle, driver’s license and insurance card. If you have been pre-approved for a car loan, bring the sight draft (a check) or approval letter with you.
•The retailer connection: Ask your family and friends for referrals for a company they’ve enjoyed doing business with. Look for a retailer that offers low, no-haggle prices and a la carte pricing on each part of the car-buying transaction - the vehicle price, the warranty, the trade-in and the financing.
•Vehicle appraisal: Get an appraisal to assess a fair price on your trade-in.
