As follow up to the buyer's remorse post - Anybody's wife/husband balking at you getting your Bronco as delivery approaches?

[jnew71]

My wife was all onboard and even gave me a nudge to get me to order - now she's waffling a bit as delivery approaches due to the $$. I have the money to pay cash - her argument is that we can use it for something else. I realize she's going through the process that a lot go through when big financial decisions need to be made and I appreciate it. Ultimately it's my decision and she says so, but would like to have her buy-in .

Happy wife, happy life.

Finance it. If your credit is good, you'll get a rate far lower than rate of inflation or rate of return using that money to do something else. Absolutely no reason to pay cash for a vehicle right now.

Here's the advice you already know: Happy Wife Happy Life

With that said, here's a video where a Bronco owner configured his to have a bed in the cargo area, JIC the wife throws you out for pulling the trigger.

I suppose you could finance some and invest the money, might make it hurt less?
marriage and finances is tricky and there’s a lot of ways to crumble that cookie, but we make our fun purchases with our own money and leave out the judgement on what the value is to the person making the purchase. It keeps the peace and works for us, hopefully you find a solution that works for you… and involves getting the bronco you want!!

Happy wife, happy life.

Nah. I don't subscribe to that at all. If you're not happy it doesn't matter if she's happy.

Everyone should support each other.

My wife specifically wanted me to finance it so that I won't trade it for something else too soon. This coming from a 4 yr old Tacoma that I was supposed to keep for 10 yrs.

When it came time to buy the Bronco though, she was all in. I think it was because of the time she had seen me invest in tracking the whole Bronco rollout. She had even asked 'do you want something else', the answer was always no...I really want to drive a Bronco. So maybe have that discussion. This is what you want to roll with. Ask if financing would make her feel more comfortable having extra cash on hand.

Oh and once I got it....the wife REALLY like driving it. My guess is yours will to and that will seal the deal. Good luck.

Nah, marriage is just one of those things where I refuse to be miserable just to make my wife happy. If I want something and have the means to get it, you bet your ass I'm going to get it.

I supported her $65k Grand Cherokee L, she can support my $55k Bronco.

You sure it’s the money and not, say, your constantly calling the car “my girl” and looking at countless topless pictures of it online?

"Ultimately it's my decision and she says so"

Oxymoron comes to mind.

Just name your bronco “The Doghouse”

No wife = buy what ever you like. Make sure she’s reminded.
