Sitting here at Nissan

Ummm, Sophia, "only $6 more a month" isn't what's important - how much extra would you end up paying for this deal? How much longer is the loan period and at how much per month? You need to look at the real cost of the deal, not just the per month difference in payments.

Calm down and do the math, and you just might find out that your husband was doing the right thing. And you really shouldn't be making major financial decisions by yourself - how would you like it if your husband decided on his own to make a $30,000 decision without consulting you? Just sayin...

But, best wishes on this turning out well for both of you!

So, yea they worked oout the numbers and can get me to take it home for only $6 mre a month. That's AWESOME! BUT.. I called my husband to tell him I'm coming home with a new car and he FLIPPED! Even talking about divorce if I buy this car. Needless to say...I left the dealership with my Black one

I guess I no longer wear the pants.

I told the dealership to give me til Monday so I can try and work something out with the butt-head.

I'm really ticked at the way he was talking to me...... and especially since my BDAY is next week!

Just don't give him ANY! and he will cave in!! The Power of Women. Don't under estimate it. In the past It's brought down empires.
Good Luck.

You're losing money no matter how you look at it.

Sophia,

I understand how much you want the Monterey Blue color Z, but you already have nice car as it is. I don't think it will be a killer for you to just stick with your current car. I hope your situation gets worked out. Best wishes!

kenchan · 10-02-2010, 05:04 PM

hope it works out for you, sophiaZ!

The situation is as stands.
I just don't know why some are against me getting the new one. To me I see it like this- A brand new car, a color that's more easily maintained, has the leather and wheels I want...for the same price I pay now for a hard to maintain color, cloth sets (that are a pain to clean when my dogs get hair everywhere, and no satellite radio. To me its a WIN/WIN.

I'm for getting what you want. You're paying for it.

Well I would have spoken to him FIRST and told him all that. Then if he did what he did I would tell him to

if he has a problem with that. That's why I am single.

F- that. If I want a new car, I am getting it. IF I am paying of course. And IF it is reasonable. This is reasonable. And you have some valid points there. Any woman I end up with will be CAR/MOD FRIENDLY damn it! LOL (and you are a woman and he is a guy!)

I do see the points being made. You will be paying more for the car even though it's only $6 more a month. (clock resets on loan, etc) And in this economy maybe that is not the best move. But we all are driving two seaters with bad gas mileage that require expensive gas and you only live once! Do what makes you happy I say! Good luck and hope it works out for you.

I'd go get the blue car and then throw him the surprise party. I just turned 30 and my wife threw me an awesome surprise party....go karts and everything. Don't rob him of that, and let him take the goodies out of the wrapper

. Best bet is to come home with the blue Z and just be naked when you tell him about it. I'd have a tough time being mad at my wife in that situation.

How much negative equity do you have wrapped up in this loan already? Something tells me you've done something like this before.

Just buy the car. If your other half can't get over it then get a new one to go with the new car. It's a win/win!!!

Yea..this is my 3rd situation in this category

LOLz

Yea..he won't budge on the car thing. He says I've owned too many cars since we've met, and I spend too much time cleaning up my car (DUH...why else would I want to get rid of the black one?) he said to me just a few minutes ago..."Get used to your ugly BLACk Z that you hate so much cuz you're not getting rid of it for 4 more years when it's paid off!" WOW..I never said I hated it haha..once again..he over exaggerates everything!

And to answer what someone said earlier....I do tend to trade in my cars when the loan is more than what I paid for the car...bad bad habit. Shite, I prbably still have my 05 Neon partially in this loan

It's not that I'm not happy with what I got, it's just that I'm a royal pain in tha AZZ!
