Posted Monday, Jul 08, 2024

The complete guide to buying cars for women.

Buying a car is an important decision––one that requires thoughtful consideration, research, and smart planning. In a male-dominated industry, our women-powered dealership wants to support our peers in the car-buying process. Whether that is with us or at a local dealership.

This guide will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to make informed decisions, ensuring you drive off the lot with a car that’s a perfect match for your lifestyle and budget.

Researching the right car.

When it comes to buying a car, the first step is always research. Start by identifying what’s most important to you—whether it's fuel efficiency, environmentally friendly electric cars, or simply the color and design that speak to your personal aesthetic. Here are some tips when buying a new car:

Begin with broad considerations

How will you use the car? Is it for daily commuting, long road trips, or maybe both? Understanding your needs will guide your choices and help you narrow down the field.

Seek out recommendations

Talk to friends and family who have recently purchased cars to find out the most popular cars for women. Social media and forums can also be gold mines of information, offering firsthand accounts and user experiences.

Visit our dealership or a local dealership near you

Experience the difference in person! Take a day to explore several dealerships and The Simple Car Store if you in the Mesa, AZ area or online. We offer car buying nationwide with our custom car buying options.

Negotiate Like a Pro.

The ability to negotiate effectively can transform your car-buying experience, helping you get the best possible deal. Here’s how to approach negotiations confidently:

Arm yourself with information

Know the market value of the car you're interested in before entering negotiations. Being informed about the cars and their going rates sets a strong foundation for negotiations.

Start with a reasonable offer

Make a fair offer that's slightly below the market rate but still within reason. This shows the dealer you’re serious and knowledgeable, but leaves room for discussion.

Stay calm and poised

Stay calm after presenting your offer. Allow them time to respond before speaking, and maintain a friendly attitude throughout. While negotiating, aim to stay as close to your original offer as possible.

Be ready to walk away

Sometimes, the best negotiating tactic is to walk away. If the dealer isn't willing to meet your reasonable terms, don’t be afraid to thank them for their time and leave.

Drive forward with confidence.

The path to finding the best car for women is about empowerment and making choices that reflect your needs and aspirations.
