How do you justify buying a Z to your partner?

[yugloop65]

I am keen on a Z, but really dreading trying to justify it to my wife...please help

[stanski]

Practical cheap fast reliable .... got the wrong badge so no snobbery what more do you need!!

[edgeydt50]

my answer was...'because i can'

[H5]

Pull out all the 'you look a **** in a Boxster' and 'it's faster and cheaper than a Z4' quotes from the mags and show the price comparisons and you're half way there.

 

The rest is down to handbag / shoe / dress / car requirements of said lady!!

And then turn up in one of these:

 

 

Simples.

My excuse was that I couldn't keep up with my boys in my 156 ........ they both had Evos

[rtbiscuit]

my wife saw the zed at JAE and loved it, told me it had to be my next car,

 

now i'm here

[LRF4N]

im with Mr T on this one lol

 

if nuts arent on the agenda then tell her everytime u drive home to see her ul have a smile on ur face

[Ashey]

Ive told my mrs that i am getting one 2 years in advanced so when it comes to it there are no probs

My excuse was that I couldn't keep up with my boys in my 156 ........ they both had Evos

 

So you bought a car that still couldn't keep up with them

[ChrisS]

Mine was you've got a five seater car,I've got two five seater cars and there are

only 4 of us (estate for my dogs and horse crap/stuff and a jag for comfort)

I'll keep the estate and get a real car.

 

It WORKED

[SunGodRA]

get a divorce then buy it - worked for me

True ....... but I'm a lot closer

I didn't tell her indoors. I got up early one Saturday morning, took flight to Belfast, trader picked me up and I drove it back on the boat.

 

First she knew about it was when she clocked it in the car park

[martinmac]

Confusion technique, buy her a car and a kitchen and slip the zed and the mods in with the accounting chaos.

[Sarnie]

Why would you have to justify it?

Kitchen and Car going a bit toooo far there. (that said.I will not say which one to buy and not!!)

My wife saw the ad for the Z4 playing in paint and said we should get a sports car, showed her a zed the next week and bought mine 2 weeks later

[Roo]

Convince em they are helping you decide........ she will get so confused in the shopping frenzy she won't realise you have no intention of letting her near the keys.

i envolved my wife we went looking at a load of cars, i was originally set on an elise, but she said it wasn't a proper car as it didn't have carpet.

 

looked at the rx8 but neither of us liked that. both liked the bmw z4m coupe but it was out of my price range at the time.

 

both liked the zed, and it made financial sense. was organising it the week we got married, confirmed it on the honeymoon and had it delivered the day we got back

 

she got a posh wedding, i got my car

 

she even likes the majority of the mods ive put on, the only one she hasn't made her mind up on is my spoiler.

 

when it comes to modding i use the divide by 3 rule and minus £60, so the majority of mods usually cost about £30 but most of the time she doesn't question it.

Smart way to go would be involve her with the buying process. Then if financially viable, go for it.
