Vaginal Discrimination

I am a tomboy. I think most of you can guess that. I have an IT-ish job in healthcare as a Radiology Technologist specializing in Cat Scan. Which means? I can work a computer. My hobbies include gaming, cars, motorcycles, and losing at sports. I ski, I snowboard, I boogie board, I golf. Now, with all this in mind, I head to a car dealership. They try to hose me. I get in arguments with the sales staff. I know more about the models than they do. I normally tell them I have 10mins left, they take off for 12 mins, and I receive a phone call while I'm down the street at 13 mins. My 4 yr old Jetta was told she needed an oil pan. For $562. I don't think so. I received a phone call a day later and did not respond. PS. It's never leaked. I test drove a 07 Miata Grand Touring. I left after waiting more than 10mins, being told payments for a $18197 would be $497/month and had a phone call 1 min after leaving. I don't have time to deal with these people's bullshit, ok? I know I'm not an accountant nor a mechanic, but I'm also not ignorant. I will NOT trade in an 04 GLI V6 leather sunroof with under 60 thousand miles, little to no rust, clean title, new tires and custom rims for $8000. I will NOT pay for an oil pan from a dealer that previously changed my oil and obviously doesn't know how to use a torque wrench correctly. Again, I'm a Techie in customer service with an avid love of motorized vehicles. Don't fuck with me. End. Rant. Time to shoot people in the head. COULOW. Out.

I think you can sell your car to Onesimos...He's a VW guy, and lonely...he'd love the company of a lady, even if just for a second to sign over a title.

I hope you can sell your jetta on the private market before trading it in. I can't recall how many arguments i've gotten into with car salespeople...

I would say sell it in a private sale...dealers are asshats. I'm glad to see that there are other women, who don't take people's bullshit. :D

Maybe if you left your vagina at home they would treat you better. JK My wife used to go through that same shit from those ball sacks. She is not one to F-with when it comes to sales. Needless to say she gets what she wants. don't let em get ya.

Sorry to hear your grief, your probably right about the discrimination-but much of it comes from know it all salesmen. They just think you'll roll-over since your female like most of their "victims". Cant help much in the auto industry, but if you feel like your ever getting hosed on your bike lemme know-been in "the industry" since 75.
