(15,481 posts)There are many different ways you can define that: number of cars bought, or amount spent on cars by men vs dollar amount spent by women, or percentage of cars bought by women (and then men) which are new, as a percentage of all cars bought by women (and men).
each stat will give you a different result. this article isn't even using a statistic. It says that women make the decision of which new Car to buy more often then men. Every marriage is different. Every household is different. This is saying that when two people go together to buy a new car, if they are one man and one woman, that more often than not the woman chooses the car. I do not believe that. How many new car buyers do you think were interviewed to get this statistic? it is not information you can find without a specific study. When people buy cars, we do not know from the paperwork who made the decision to buy the car. But, in my opinion, buying new cars is not a decision most men would stay out of. In my opinion cars is something men tend to be more interested in than women, as a group. T
When they say women buy more cosmetics than men, I believe it. Food I believe because women are the heads of more households than men, new cars I do not.
that women buy more cars than men is possible. new cars, i do not believe it. i think that if you take all the car dealers' paperwork, there will be more men's signatures than women's. and the dollar amount spent by men will be higher than the dollar amount spent by women as well. On new cars. not that many women buy mazerattis and mercedes as men. This article says more women do.
