Minorities, women, pay more for cars - study
? Minority ethnic groups and women pay more for their cars in the US
than white males, according to a new study.?
?Women pay slightly more than men - 0.2 per cent or $45 per average
car - when they make their purchases at dealerships.?
?The researchers attribute the difference in purchase price to
differing income, education and search costs on the part of the
minority buyers, which leave them at a disadvantage when it comes to
negotiating new car deals.?
?But the study also found that purchasers of cars over the Internet
made that difference virtually disappear.?
