Default Re: Buying a car as a present

Two thoughts: Use an excuse like the mechanic called and needs to fix something that he missed on her car. Offer to drop it off for her on your way into work (get a buddy to help if necessary).

To negotiate a good deal, try the Internet. I went to Honda.com and inquired about a model. I had three local dealers all send my quotes. I kept pitting them against each other until I had a price just under invoice. You don't have the pressure of someone in your face and making them put the deal in writing allows you more leverage in the process.

Great idea and good luck.
