Women have the exact same car buying considerations as men, but there is no denying that women are treated differently when buying a car.

Car dealerships and salespeople can be intimidating, so be sure to do your homework before you start looking for your dream vehicle. Here is a list of things to help you:

Decide on some things first: Decide what kind of vehicle you want and which features are negotiable and which are non-negotiable. For example, do you want a two-door car or a four-door car? Does it have to have airbags, power windows and ABS?
Do some research: Do some online research to find out which car is right for you, preferably choose 2 or 3 models, once you have seen them in person and test driven them you will be able to make a more informed decision.
How much can you really take? Figure out what you can really afford and stick to it. Remember, in addition to the cost of purchasing the vehicle, there are also license and registration fees to consider, as well as the cost of vehicle repairs and tire replacement.
Know the details: Know the specifics about the car you're looking at. The more information you know, the smarter questions you can ask at the dealership. This also ensures that you are not being sold something you don’t need.
Negotiate: Everything is negotiable, from the price of the car you plan to buy to your trade-in. Be prepared to haggle!
Don’t impulse buy: Don’t feel guilty about the salesperson and don’t think you’re going to lose the deal. The sales process is a "game" and if you walk away, chances are they'll give you an offer that's closer to what you actually want.
Consider buying an older model: If you can't get your dream car at the price you want, consider buying a slightly older model. This way, you can find a cheaper car with more features.
Extended Warranty: Dealers will try to sell you extended warranties and service plans. Make sure you understand exactly what it covers and do your homework to understand whether it makes financial sense for you.
Check with your insurance company: Before you make a quote, contact your insurance company to find out what your premiums will be. You may find that it is higher than you expected and you need to keep looking.
Vehicle Tracking Device: Make sure you protect your new car! Most insurance companies will lower your premiums if you install a vehicle tracking device. Click here to find a list of units available from Cartrack.
