Recently, I made the decision to buy a new vehicle.
My fiance she said I should to buy a vehicle that was a reliable brand (Honda, Toyota, etc.), with a back seat and an automatic transmission.
Based on these parameters, my choice was a Tacoma Doublecab (4 doors), w/automatic. It isn't much more expensive than a Camry w/V6. The main negative about the truck is the fuel mileage. But, I like the fact that it can be used as a people mover or for cargo, so I feel it's still a practical vehicle.
Unfortunately, she says that she doesn't want to be seen in it, because it doesn't fit her image. But, my point is that since I'm paying for it and I will be the primary driver, shouldn't I have the majority of the say in what I buy?

Being a female myself, I cant imagine not having a truck! I have a Ford Ranger, which is good on gas and looks nice. Tell her that if she wants to be seen in a sports car (or whatever "fits her image") she should buy that type of car. If you are paying for and will be the primary driver of the truck, you should be allowed to buy that truck, if you can afford it.

Ask yourself this question. Why do I want a truck?
a. I'm a man and that's what men drive (wrong answer)
b. Its cool (wrong again)
c. It's my money and I can spend it how I want to (Uh uh she will not accept this either)
d. I need a truck for work, to haul stuff, and driving in lousy weather. (this one makes it, she has to see the use of it and that you NEED a truck and not a car.)
As for a choice you wont go wrong with the Toyota, it is a very well built vehicle. It is also one of the safest light duty truck on the road (a good selling point with the lady.)

Negotiate. My husband presented me an extremely severe severe high quality engagement ring (whether it had a diamond particularly of emerald this is what i mandatory) and that i mandatory a in simple terms a uncomplicated gold ring. He have been married incredibly some cases till ultimately now and continually had the effortless gold ring and mandatory some thing fancy (particular, ostentatious, IMHO). After grumbling some (for a pair of weeks incredibly), i desperate that i in my view did no longer have an argument with it and permit him make sure on. He lined 2 emeralds with the small diamond. particularly of $ninety, he spent $seven-hundred on my wedding ceremony rite ring. he's chuffed-assessments it out usually. Takes enjoy pointing it out to persons he understands of. ultimately, i think of of there is a few thing on the decrease back of that, yet hi, no longer very much to me. So, i think of of you're being lifestyles like, unreasonable and function a valid undertaking. interior the long-term, he cares and that's significant to him, so caving is in hassle-free terms severe high quality.
