Car-buying adventures for single women

Take out the garbage. Clean up the dog puke. Nurse the baby. Order groceries (going to the actual grocery store is so last decade). Tell the nanny where the new formula is. Get an appointment with the doctor because you had a fever of 102 last night. Plan how to get to the doctor appointment before you go to work and how you'll find the time to buy a new car.

Whew. A not-unusual single hour in a typical single mom's day. But that buying a car thing, that's a challenge that takes a lot of preparation and research if you want to make a smart choice at a reasonable price and get through the process with minimal hassle. Our SWWAN partner, AskPatty.com, is collecting stories from women just like you and me about your car (love it? hate it? can't wait to get rid of it?) Go to CarBlabber to share yours.

Stay tuned. A great interview with Jody DeVere, founder of AskPatty.com, will soon be available for listening or downloading on SWWAN Dive radio for women!

And we're looking for some single women who'd like to share their stories with us for an article we're writing for AskPatty. So email us info at swwan dot org.
