I am going car leasing in about 2 months, I am pretty excited. Also, dealers ask about color so they can price an actual car out from their lot.

They need an actual car to price (not just generic Altima, but an exact Altima).

Responses:

that's not what we mean re: color. it's when they ask it almost very first thing, because we're female - before we ever get to the pricing stage. -- nm - b. Jan 26, 19:38 21
- although I did have one guy say, "I know, I know; but I ask it of men, too." -- nm - b. Jan 26, 19:39 20
  - I see your point too. But it does really help them narrow down the choices on their lot. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:43 6
    - I don't want to buy what's "on their lot". -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 19:54 5
      - I want specific things in/on a vehicle. If they have all of that - and in my color - then they're in luck. Otherwise, they'll get it and I'll wait. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 26, 20:01 4
        
        (why do we need dealers again?) -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:10 2
        
        Same reason we need white label marketing. - Beryllium Jan 26, 20:40
        
        I had really hoped the internet was going to do away with them (for the most part), like when Scion started. - JaxSean Jan 26, 20:20
        
        exactly. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:05
  - It is one of the first things they ask me too. The conversation typically goes like "I am interested in a Nissan Altima with Navi" - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:42 12
    - Apparently, sales people also emphasize cup holders to female buyers as a big selling feature. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 26, 20:18 1
      - wait, I'm confused... do you, or do you not get groped when buying a car? -- nm - mafic Jan 26, 20:50
    - multiple times, I've been asked before model is discussed - that's the thing. - b. Jan 26, 19:48 9
      - model?...Busty frontside with a nice round backside. -- nm - budice Jan 26, 20:00

      - Oh, if it goes like that then yea. :( -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:51 3
        
        the joke on them is that women can often actually be tougher sells than men are. - b. Jan 26, 19:59 2
        
        Haha nice. Yeah, I remember years ago they did the car keys thing.. man that was annoying. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 20:02 1
        
        I would be *enraged* if they did that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:08
      - "chartreuse." -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 19:50 1
        
        "with just a hint of remorse" -- nm - prayformojo Jan 26, 19:55
