Many women feel uncomfortable when going to car auctions because of the way they are regarded by other participants and even by the sellers. People do still disrespect women that trying to mingle with “manly affairs” like buying a car at an auction they think is. Some women found a perfect solution for buying car from live auctions: they bring their husband along, tell him what to bid on and how much and he acts then like he is deciding.
If a woman want to avoid the uncomfortable situation of being addressed by a salesman that thinks he is Dan Juan, they either leave home or don’t come at all and try the online auctions. Over the internet, no one cares if you are a woman or a man. Since no one can see you, there’s no reason to feel uncomfortable and you can freely bid or not bid, evaluate and decide, without being distracted by others.
Those who say women don’t know what they want are very wrong. If they intend to be the owners of a used Chrysler crossfire , then you can be sure they will buy one today. Maybe this is one of the reasons they are regarded as naïve in live car auctions, because they will only be bidding on one car, the one they had in mind from the beginning, and maybe sometimes even overpay for it. If they are paying a bit more that they should it’s because they really want to take that car home with them. Some medieval sales men forget that women have enough money and don’t give them much attention. A man that loses a car to a woman can get very angry. This is why, for women, online auctions are the real deal. Woman buyers are not as easily persuaded by a low price as men. If a woman want a family car, then that’s what she will get even if it’s the season when family cars are overpriced. They are very resourceful searchers, especially on the internet. Most women find what they are looking for in online auctions. In the rare case in witch a woman is a seller at a car auction, the odds are not so much against her, because other sellers are often “afraid” of her natural chars, and buyer will regard her with respect and will always want “car details”, witch is in her favor, because he advertises the car this way.
