I want to surprise my wife with a new SUV...

[Anonymous]

as a huge car buff, hondas and toyotas have gotten so good that i can't justify spending more for a run-of-the-mill 'luxury car'.

s-classes do have some interesting technology that is useful but other than that give me a honda/toyota or ferrari/lambo/mclaren.

everything inbetween doesn't really seem worth it.

there are a lot of jealous, type-A women here who wish their husbands were half as nice as OP. This poor guy asked a simple question and he has gotten nothing short of a lashing and roasting spread out over 11 pages. I am guessing he is long gone. Figured it out by the end of page 2 that he was not going to get any help here!

Big $$$ decisions should be made together. And she should get a say in what she wants.

Most dealers will let you return a car within a week or so if you really don't like it.

Name one.

One the car leaves the lot it cannot legally be sold as a new car to anyone else. They will not let you bring it back.

We've done it. But it's a little less annoying if you think there might be buyers remorse for something like this, they'll let you just take it home for the weekend before purchase agreement.

How is it a "lashing" and "roasting" to suggest he include his wife in such a large, personal purchase? We're trying to help him avoid making a mistake.

A couple of years into our marriage, and I wouldn't have wanted my DH purchasing a car for me without my consent. Simply because of tight finances, the needs of our children, rising costs of gas, etc.

We've been married for almost two decades now, and I would trust him to buy a car for me. We're both old with bad backs, so if he finds the car uncomfortable or impractical, so would I.
