Would you prefer to buy from male or female SE?
-
Do you have a gender preference when it comes to the salesperson when buying a new car?
Used to be that car sales was largely dominated by men as the general perception then was that "the women just don't get it" when it comes to cars. However, it seems that there are more female car salespeople nowadays even though the car buyers are still predominantly male (although the wife/gf probably have a greater say nowadays!)...I think.
Does this mean that women are more savvy about cars nowadays or have car dealers realised that sex sells? Having said that, would you rather be attended by a male salesperson who knows his stuff or a bimbo who doesn't or you couldn't care less about their gender?

when i bought my car.. it was a female..but then i dealt with male.. who happened to be her dad.. it was a family business.

Personally, I find that the female SEs are there not to "sex" sell a car. They seem to be able to get into the female decision maker's mind easier than the male Ses. Dun forget, once you are married, the wife is the major and you are the general. And buying car is major decision.
Seeing them as sex objects is a self perception. It depends on the individual who is being served. -
Hmm.
A good Sales is one who knows his/her stuff, understands what they are selling, understand what you are looking for, and does their best to give you what you want. -
stereotyping liao. Who say female SE must be sexy and dunno her stuff? I test drovve a beetle at VW. The female SE was both pretty yet know her stuff well. She gave me whatever I asked for(info lah, what you thinking of).
Then at mitubishi trying lancer, these auntie dunno her stuff, and also not pretty in ANY WAY. While testing, she still tell me for new cars, dun rev engine when gear is at neutral. Bad for car, she told me. How true was that? Doesn't make sense to me. More funny, when asking for FC, she told me it's not a prob since petrol now is not very ex, abt $1 per lit
. Then when I told her I got my liscence a few mths ago only, she say she knew it from the way I drove. KNN, I was driving a rio for a mth liao when I test drove it(was doing for my friend, who is not confident at driving on road. He was with me also). Petrol price also dunno, still dare to say my driving sucks?

You test-drive with the wrong Mitsubishi SE lah. Last time I went (Last Oct), we are attended by the most chio SE in my car searching period then.

...... My bro rev until blur and took a little high speed cornering, she sit there commenting that this car handling, engine, ...... Still having her on my mind. On the other hand, similar one from Suzuki just can't make it. Completely can't sell. 2 times in Suzuki Ubi showroom, both unhappy experience.
So I would say it is definitely a plus to have a chio female SE who know her stuff. However, it is still the car that is selling not the SE. In the end, I bought mine from a "ka-wan". -
for me,i bought my sunny,when i saw this pretty lady at suntec,having a roadshow there.That's when i from there,know her.Females salelady is easier to negotiate for more freebies??..haha and nicer and talk to i guess?

When i buy Anything i prefer females
-
I would prefer Male SE. No offence. Generally I find that guys are most guys are more MCP and also if the sales gal is really gd, she can make the guy buy the item (especially for cars) without giving any freebies. Like some says, if the gals are pretty and tries to "sex" sell, it wil be worst.
Therefore I prefer to get from guy SE if I am given a choice.
No offence. Just my opinion.

if possible, i wish to buy from female chio se too. Even if she cant sell also nvr mind. the car I would have already chosen in my mind liao mah, so the job of se is really to do admin work only. So i feel it's better to be served by chio bu, the feeling very happy one,you know? somemore, if you hengheng, scali can make friend with her, got to know one more chio bu friend

when i bought my integra from honda. i was attended too by a very pretty female SE. ended up we met outside to close the deal and i bought her some drinks. we had a great weekend and plenty of sex. now she is my gf.
-
i don't really care.. it's the car i'm buying.
incidentally, the SE i bought from, i did comment she looked really good in the skirt she was wearing when she came into the show room off duty to collect my deposit.
i guess i couldn't really compliment a guy that way about his tie.
-
U simply asked her some questions and see if she technical savvy in this area..
and in this way u could judge if she is competent.. -
Maybe I'm wrong, the last time I went to Honda to look at the Vti HID, there was only one female SE.. and erm.. no offense but she abit CMI, and totally heck care me until another SE called Jeremy came by and offer to help me..Originally posted by Thailand_Hero:when i bought my integra from honda. i was attended too by a very pretty female SE. ended up we met outside to close the deal and i bought her some drinks. we had a great weekend and plenty of sex. now she is my gf. -
