AA Personal Loans: Female car dealers preferred

A new survey by AA Personal Loans suggests that many Britons may prefer to buy a car from a female salesperson.

AA Personal Loans conducted a poll in which they asked people which celebrities they would prefer to have as a car dealer.

Lorraine Kelly and Paula Radcliffe were among the top choices, the figures reveal.

In fact, four out of five of the top selections on the list are women, with Jeremy Paxman as the sole man appearing.

Mark Huggins, head of AA Personal Loans, suggested that some people may associate more trustworthy qualities with women, rather than men.

"With the gender balance in the car market shifting, women being just as likely to buy a second hand car as men, it makes sense that many would prefer to buy a car from a woman," he remarked.

A recent Sheilas' Wheels study suggested that women may not be doing enough to keep their hair under control as they drive, which could be a safety hazard.
