For a woman buying a car alone, the experience falls somewhere south of having a root canal on the pleasure scale. Female car buyers often have to endure a subtle – and sometimes not so subtle – discrimination. They find themselves being shown “cute” cars. Salespeople discuss the choice of paint colors rather than the gas mileage. At worst, women are asked if they want to wait for their husbands to arrive before making the big decision. So, how does a woman purchasing a car on her own defend against this sort of behavior? Education. Learn what you need to know before you head to the showroom.
First, decide on the car you want. Consider what you are looking for in a vehicle – size, style, and features. Use the websites of the major car manufacturers to “build” your dream car.
These programs will even given you the sticker price of your ideal vehicle. You can ignore this price during real negotiations, but you’ll have a idea of the general price range of the vehicle.
Still unsure about what you should buy? Look at car comparison websites such as Edmunds and NADA Guides that can help you compare cars side-by-side as well as offer reviews and guides for car buying.
Once you have found the perfect vehicle, it’s time to research the price. Using the internet, you can find out what the dealer’s invoice price is for your car. This is the price you want to work with, as it is the actual dealer cost.
In addition, check to see if there are any incentives available on the car. These can be incentives such as low-interest financing or cash back. There may also be incentives to the dealer from the manufacturer. That means that if the dealer sells a specific model, they receive a rebate. This means that a dealer can sell at or below invoice and still make a profit on the car.
Many websites will even give you information on actual selling prices of similar models in your area. By analyzing this information, you will be able to determine a reasonable sales price for the car you want.
Now that you have found your car and know how much you should reasonably pay, head out to the dealer. You can now negotiate effectively.
When you arrive, make it clear to the salesperson that you know exactly what you want and exactly how much you are willing to pay. In short, there should be very little negotiation. Make your offer and stand firm. You will likely get the usual, “I have to check with my sales manager” runaround.
If the dealer will not meet your price – which you know is reasonable – go to another dealer. In some cases, you can even get dealers to bid against each other. With a little homework beforehand and a little persistence at the dealership, you’ll have a better experience buying a car.

Andy Grant asked:
The first thing that you should know when you want to buy a new car is that both you and the dealer are looking to get the better end of the deal. If you don’t learn anything else from this website you will learn how to walk away from the deal with both sides being satisfied.
A good deal is a win, win situation for both parties. Most of the time it is the buyer that leaves unsatisfied.
Nowadays a car is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. You are likely to purchase a new car more than once in your life, so you might as well learn to do it in a way that will make buying the cars less painful.
If you are looking to buy a car you should begin with these tips.
1. You should purchase your new car at or around Christmas time because with everybody buying their Christmas presents, not many of them are looking to buy a new car, and it forces dealerships to up their sales strategies.
Salesmen are more willing to haggle down to your prices to close the deal.
2. Purchasing a car online is becoming a great way to get a new car. Just wait for good rebates and incentives online and shop around.
Print out your information from the best quotes and bring it to the dealer that you are most willing to work with.
Bringing in lower quotes from another company might be your best bet in getting a good deal.
3. You can also get a good deal from July to October because that is the time of year when dealerships are trying to get rid of their inventory to make way for the new models.
4. You should visit http://www.FightingChance.com if you are hoping to find new car prices, dealer incentives, and the best rebate offers.
This site is the first place that you should go for great advice on buying a car. It’s even more informative than the Kelley Blue book. This program for buying new cars can literally save you thousands of dollars.
5. A good place to start when going into a dealership is to bring a copy of your credit score with you.
It can lower your interest rates on your car loan. Your car dealer should not know more about you than you do.
6. You can avoid a common scam that dealerships pull. You will often hear that your financing fell through and that you have to respond by paying more money on your loan.
Don’t believe it. It’s another reason for you to get a copy of your credit score.
7. Another common scam by dealership salesmen is for them to tell you that they have found you a lower rate, but that they want you to re-sign your loan papers.
Usually, that is a downright lie. Once they pull up your financing information, they have the upper hand if you don’t know the details about your credit information.
You can get a copy of your credit information online at http://www.equifax.com for about $10-$15. It’s better to pay $15 now than thousands later.
8. Don’t bring in a car for trade in if you still owe money on it.
The dealership rarely pays the rest of the loan on time which will result in you having to pay a great deal of late fees to the bank.
If you do decide to bring a car in that you owe money on, get it in writing from the dealership that they will pay the balance on the car within 10 days.
9. Sometimes a dealership may not have all of your options and must order the car directly from the dealership.
If this happens they will often ask you to pay $500-$1000 for a deposit on the car.
Try not to pay more than $500 and be sure to pay with a credit card because sometimes the dealership will tell you that there was a price increase on the vehicle and will want more money.
If you pay with a credit card you have room to dispute the amount being taken from you. If you pay by check, you can just consider the money gone.
10. You should never buy a car when you are in desperate need for one because a dealer will see that and take advantage.
You should never wait until an old car is dead before searching for a new one because you should give yourself time to shop around for one and get the best deal possible. Desperation often clouds your judgment.
