About Ask Patty:

Women purchase half of the vehicles sold in the United States each year, spending over $80 billion. Yet, shopping for and buying a car can be a challenge for women who are first time car buyers or for women who had a bad experience in the past with a car salesman or dealership.

The “Ask Patty” blog is a safe place for women to get advice on car purchases, maintenance and other automotive related topics. Women can ask Patty for automotive advice on the Ask Patty blog, Patty will typically reply back to you the same day. Selected questions and answers will be answered by the panel of automotive women experts for the benefit of all women.

“Many people, including a surprising number of car dealers, still believe negotiating and buying a vehicle is a man’s job but we know that 80% of car buying decisions are influenced by women and 50% of car purchases are made by women.” ‘Ask Patty’ provides a safe environment for women to get advice and the information they need to feel empowered and confident when they negotiate and purchase new or used vehicles and bring their cars in for maintenance, repairs and service.”

I encourage women to explore the valuable information on the Ask Patty blog and take advantage of the collective experience of our advisory panel of expert women by posting your questions, stories and comments."

To post your automotive comment, story or question go to the Categories side bar on the left and chose an Ask Patty Expert Woman and/or another catagory listed and post your comments, story, pictures and questions in the comments section on the bottom of each category post!

I've noticed that there is a lot of activity lately related to women buying cars. I think it's fantastic. Are you "aware" of a women's group called AWARE? If not it would be a great resource and community for you. I believe the website is www.awareforwomen.org.

Thanks, and welcome to the forum!

Yes, of course AWARE is wonderful women's organization. I am the President of the Women's Automotive Association International (www.waai.com). Both of these outstanding automotive women's organizations have wonderful programs and initiatives to improve automotive women professionaly!

Hi Jody:
Welcome. I went to your site and I really enjoyed what I saw! I look forward to future visits. I'm sure you will find the Automotive Industry Forum extremely informative. Marc, you are so right. A lot of attention is being focused on women in both the industry and as the consumer.
Thanks!
