Here's the deal. Before we met, my wife bought a car. (Married 1 yr) She does not know much about cars at all, and bought a car with over 150 K miles on it and spent about twice what it's worth. She borrowed money from her parents for the car, and has not paid much of it back. Since I have known her, collectively we have spent $2k more on parts and repairs. The problem is, she likes the car. It's a total POS, but she likes it anyhow. I am a very straight forward kinda guy, and have told her what I think of the car. I was nice, but she knows my opinion of the whole situation. We live comfortably, but are not wealthy. Bottom line, we need to stop pouring more money into a vehicle that was undependable when it was new and continues to break down. I have a car note on a newer vehicle, and inherited a dependable car when my Mom died earlier this year, so transport is not an issue. How do I talk to her so that she will listen, and not hurt her feelings.
