Alright, here's the scenario:

Buy = 2007 Silverstone $29,000 plus 6% tax and tags

Trade = 2002 Desert Silver Metallic RSX Type S $10,500 minus sales tax credit on the exchange.

I think it's a pretty good deal. My wife of one year disagees. My problem started when I told her that I would get about $15,000 for my Acura, and I would spend about $24,000 of a used S2000. You can see the difference.

Any ideas on what sort of sales pitch would be necessary to close this deal with "The Wife?"

I started by getting some flowers and a gift. She'll be home later tonight, so I'll keep you posted on the initial outcome. This could take several attempts. I need all the help I can get.

Oh, a few more facts: for the time being we have similar incomes(mine has greater potential for increased income), I recently convinced her to let me buy a $4000 road bicycle, we have the money to buy the S2000 cash.

Thanks for the help.

 

If you give in to her now you might as well hand her your balls too.

Be a man

DO IT

 

u prob shouldn't have gotten married if it's like that.

its a boy man issue. im not hatin, i personally want to be a boy forever.

you should get a used 04 if ur into ap2. much easier sell. or get a ap1 andhave money left over.

marriage depresses me.

 

I think a few days of convincing would do it...if you do it without her agreeing, it will become harder for you in the long run! hehe! Just my .02 cents.

Make her feel like she is in control, and later on slowly convince her without her noticing it Don't make it too obvious to her that you are trying to convince her....it is really an art man...take this opportunity as an exercise.

Take your time, as the car will always be there for you to buy...and in the case of cars, it just gets cheaper and cheaper or better and better, the longer you wait. don't let the salesman pressure you into it.

I had the same issue when I wanted to buy a used M3, 3 months after I just got my S2000! hehe! It took me about 3 more weeks to convince her. I just told the guy to hold the car for 1 month for me, as I gave him a non-refundable earnest money!

 

I make it sound like I'm whipped. That's not the case. I could buy the car without permission, but it's just not worth it. I think I'm almost there.

Thanks for the input.

 

Just DO IT . I just decided to trade out of my lease and bought one . The decision was made once I saw the condition of the car I bought , 4 years old 18k miles . Ive loved it every day the last 2 years of driving

 

Take her one the test dive top down intraffic . ... Well maybe not lots of looks . LOL

 

I have 6 uncles on my Dad's side who all live by the "####-it I don't care what she thinks, I'm gonna do what I want" attitude. And yes, they are all divorced...some multiple times.

But hey...it's your money, right?

 

Be smart, chicks like smart guys keep the RSX and sell it your self out right
Buy the S with no trade-in, you will make a better deal Also the best deals on a good used S are right here on this forum


GOOD LUCK

 

Work on her till your drivin' it.

Relentless persistence will win out in the end.
