I work for a Pharmaceutical company and I've been there for 10 years and very stable.My companies earnings have actually be the best in the past 2 years...figuring probably because of all the layoffs and people going crazy..we're selling drugs like mad! haha I'm not worried about the economy...my mouth is what'll get me in trouble

Haha, he should've known what he was getting into when he married you.

And ugly black Z? Time to bust out of the angry black female attitude: NUH UH OH NO HE DIDN'T!!

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!

HAHA...but he wasn't saying it's ugly..hes just being stupid and acting like that's how I feel.

And yes..he knew how I have been with cars before we got married. He's always trying to change me " Stop smoking, slow down drinking, stop being obsessed with your car, stop wanting so many animals..." GEEZ, the list can go on forever...and I need to stop before yall start judging me too haha

Azroadster · 10-02-2010, 07:23 PM

I agree that you should have discussed it with him first. I have been married to my present wife for 28 years and she has always been agreeable to me purchasing cars and mods as long as we can afford it and I let her know what I am doing. She has been great that way and I am a very lucky man. She shares in my passion for cars and I truly appreciate that. Give it a few days and have a calm discussion with him. He may come around. Tell him that life is too short to drive a car that you really don't want. When you both get older you will realize that more and more. Hell, if I had the money I would have a Ferrari, but I make just enough to have a nice 370Z and $$$ left over to mod the hell out of it. It's a car - it IS NOT worth getting divorced over.

if its the same loan length, its only an extra $360 in difference between the last loan and this loan.

The biggest difference here though is the 12 payments you've already paid and the down payment. I can't imagine whatever number that comes out to being very pretty. You'd just have to think about whether that comes out to is worth the extras.

That being said, and being a car salesman, I'd love to have you as a customer

Too bad I sell Hondas....

I agree with everything you said.
What everyone isn't understanding is that ( quick story)...I always go to Nissan alone for my maintenance and all that. I went today cuz my one splash guard was hanging and my rear bumper wasn't properly aligned. While waiting..for shites and giggles, I went out to their lot to see what they had. I seen this beautiful 09 sitting there all lonesome and had them run up the numbers (not thinking it was even feasible) When they said it was good to go I was shocked and texted my husband saying "bringing home a new Z, don't be mad, kay?'' I've said that before just playing around w/o getting quoted. So when I did REALLY ASK if it was ok..all hell broke loose. So I in fact actually did ask him,so I'm not faulty in that sense.
I always check to see if a purchase is ok...even if I want to buy a shirt online (for example)

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!

it's only $6 bucks more a month

...boy, your husband doesn't know what type of hell he''ll have o pay down the road!!!

spearfish25 · 10-02-2010, 07:34 PM

Perhaps we should introduce your husband to my wife. She has many of the same complaints and often thinks I'm having an affair with my car.

SmoothZ · 10-02-2010, 07:35 PM

I don't get it. If a man/husband/boyfriend were to even attempt to spend that kind of money w/o consulting the woman, all hell would break loose. I've been married for almost 20 years. One thing I've learned is that I start slowly with the thought of buying something big like a car, TV, or whatever. I've just gotten used to it, and I'm the sole earner in my house. It's just common courtesy.

Its an extra 6 months on the new loan, but to me it's worth. They even said since I have the extended warranty...they'll take that $1,000 and use that as a down payment or I can take the cash and have a little higher of a payment. I liked the sounds of that

Yeah because buying a car is anywhere comparable to a party

Zaggeron · 10-02-2010, 07:56 PM

Sometimes the cold hard math makes it seem worse than it is.... Sure in some objective sense you're losing (probably) quite a bit of money, but if you're the sort that always has a car payment anyway and if there's no additional down payment involved, it's almost like you're just refreshing a lease.

Just tell your hubby that even if you waited until you payed off the old Z, it's not like the money each month you've been paying in payments is going to be freed up ... you'll just get a new car then anyway.
