Here are just some of the attitudes women have to face :-
When visiting a showroom alone - " Where's you're husband?" When with a male companion - All conversation is directed at him and you're questions remain unanswered.

If you are a person who is very budget-conscious buyer who's looking for a car and getting a brand new or even a quality second-hand one is not your thing, then you can go for a damaged car auction. The same thing goes for individuals who like the challenge of making diamonds out of dirt.
