Did you know that women pay, on average, $1,000 more for the same car than men? In this episode of "The Straight Shift", The Car Chick talks with social science expert and co-author of the book, "Women Don't Ask", about why women are often uncomfortable with negotiating, the high cost of avoiding negotiation, and how we can learn to be more effective negotiators for ourselves, both when buying cars and in other areas of our lives and businesses. Check out Sara's books: "Women Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation and Positive Strategies for Change" "Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide" "Ask For It: How Women Can Use Negotiation to Get What They Really Want" (I do not make any money from the sale of these books.  I just think they are awesome and wanted to share the links.)
