Having a Lady owner is a bad thing. It means it wont have been looked after properly and will have been driven terribly and the clutch will be knackered.

Lady owners are stupid, I always get women asking me to check there oil and water when I'm at work and I've lost count of how many times they've been dry, i.e no oil or water

Never serviced, cheap tyres, no alignment done, never driven above 5kz. Never tyre pressure check, knackered clutch, never cleaned properly make up stains..
I could go on

What Jambo said.
Although there are some exceptions, my MX5 had a lady owner before me but she was an enthusiast for the officail owners club. Otherwise I'd be warey.

It's a sin to sit on the same chair that a woman on her period has sat on.

It's an early form of text speak dating back to your advert being restricted to 50 words...
'Lady owner' is far quicker and cheaper to put on an advert than 'alloys require complete refurbishment as some daft slag has used them as parking sensors!'.

Women will just drive a car into the ground, the majority arent even aware they need servicing

To me 'lady owner' in an advert just means its going to need a clutch, the alloys will be fucked, dipstick wont register any oil at all, inside will be full of crap & make-up smudge marks, its proberly never been washed, if it has then theres a high chance of swirl marks.
Summery - avoid at all costs!!
Dont understand why folk put this, even when its not true!!
I might change my advert on AT to say 'driven by a man'

I haven't bought a car from a woman and prob never will if I know about it (used car from dealer, won't know) after the amount i've seen
MK4 astra - very low on coolant and oil, oil hasn't been changed in 25k miles about, tyres were around 15psi, has actually never been washed by the owner .
Corsa - low on oil, tyre pressures basically non-existant, exhaust held on by magic.
A woman at work got an oil drum tied to her back bumper and she drove away realising the banging/clanging etc pulled over at the petrol station because she thought the tyres were low , seriously some don't have a clue.

Some of the comments in here are making me
All of it is soo true.
Although some women panic and are very cautious. One little noise or light come on and it will be in the garage for repair. Serviced bang on the month every year etc. Still doesn't mean the wheels, paint and clutch aren't fucked though i guess.
