what's a girl to do?

[Seveen]

i hate car shopping as a single female

the salesman starts talking some language i don't understand

anyway i've been leasing a 2007 Cadillac SRX which is dreamy

but the lease is up august 3

i went to look at GMC Terrians today - same price as the Caddy - WITHOUT Bose speakers, GPS and the interior looked male like a truck without a cab

are there other US cars i should look at? not buying foreign

abu wants a sports car

suggestions welcome!

car shopping
For the record my car was made in the US

Do you like the station wagon feel (i.e. large hatchback trunk) as you currently have that look?

i did too til i found the one company that has a non-descriminatory sales policy. when i went to buy my vehicle they treated me respectfully and fair, no downtalking, no attitude, no end-runs hiking up the prices.

but them is foreign so mi can't help yuh on this one sis

have you looked at anything online? if you do that first, you can see and learn about the specs &amp; be well-prepared for all that gobbldeegook chat they give you. cause if it's obvious u have no clue what dem a chat, they will only act worse. but if u can fire back some knowledgable banter on specs and engines and things, they might realize they can't give ya no nonsense 'snow job'.

good luck!

Re: what's a girl to do?

i'm looking at a smart car

hey i only drive 12 miles a day - weekends i may 30 a day

the supermarket is walking distance - maybe if i walked up there and had to carry the food back - i wouldn't spend so much at the market

but i know i'd be scared to drive it on the highway

i bet i could hire a driver for less than my car payment

You may want the Chevy Volt for that kind of mileage. It is larger than the smart car and safer too

Re: what's a girl to do?

oh i <span style="font-style: italic">LOOOVE</span> the &quot;Smarts&quot;, you'd sure be 'snug as a bug in a rug' in one a them! But yeh, they are foreign-made, and are basically tuna-cans on 4 tonka toy wheels. low (or maybe 'no') crashability atall.

i might have one as a 2nd car, just for runnin errands and easy downtown parking - but i can't work with that 'no utility space' thing for my main vehicle.
