I found some really interesting points about women car buyers on a great site called AskPatty.com. Ask Patty is a site designed to help women get automotive information. From the site:
Are a women auto buyers really different from male auto buyers?
That is a resounding Yes. Here are some facts on women car buyers versus men:
- Women spend approximately 17 weeks on the new car buying process, three weeks longer than men.
- Women are more inclined to purchase cars that they consider fun-to-drive and that are well made. In contrast, men prefer vehicles that are a good value for the money, are comfortable, have nice exterior styling, good fuel economy and display a certain image.
- Women, more than men, place a high value on a vehicle's reliability, durability, passenger seating capacity, safety features and availability of four-wheel drive.
- Women rate safety as the most important aspect when shopping for new vehicles.
- Fifty-seven percent of Female buyers seek advice from automotive authorities before buying a new car.
- Female auto buyers will shop an average of three dealerships for best price and best treatment.
- One third of female buyers read an average of four automotive magazines for 12 months before purchase.
- Females place the most importance on dependability, functionality and economic factors when buying.
Also interesting: The Car Blog asks whether women customers are responsible for Honda and Toyota's success.
