How would I convince the wife I need a Red Eye?

[hellno]

I say keep your hellcat and trade the wife in on the redeye, probably won’t get much for her but on the drive home in the redeye you won’t be dreading the part of explaining to her that you bought it 😂😂

If the wife has an extended warranty, it could help on the trade. 😁

Now guys don’t get me wrong I know it sounds mean but marriage is a two way street and she needs to put his needs before hers and vice versa and right now she NEEDS to know he wants the redeye, it purely out of love ❤️

As for wife and cars... we discuss it. If it makes sense financially, that is the biggest thing. If either of us says NO and articulates why, we don't do it.

I agree with the above statements, you're not getting $50k for your car unless you really overpay for the new one.

Also... I think the real question is to whether or not your wife will know the difference between Tor Red and GoMango...

You know, this is a good point. If you bought the same color and swapped the car out when she was not around you might be able to convince her you just had the hood replaced.

Unfortunately my wife never understood that part of marriage so I traded her in for an early model 😃

Allow me to hijack my own post from the meme thread.

I have a feeling this might not be the results the op was looking for. 😂

 

[hellno]

Nah it is he wants up on his side

That would literally work for me lol. And she def wouldn't even notice the different hood. Hell she still calls my Challenger "that Charger in the garage that you never drive"

Sure hope the OP does not truly think that a few of us on here are Dr. Phil advice worthy sources. Might be a reason guys like me are single. ---Just don't blame me if you end up with a black eye instead of a Redeye......

Whaddya mean? I've only been married twice...

 

[Tsubahog]

Buy her a horse (or two), (or three)....

 

[BULL]

So the $50K is probably not realistic as others have said... but would $43-45K really make that much of a difference in the deal?

Hellcats are NEVER about logic and wise financial investments...

If the wife say‘s its the redeye or me ,you have a decision to make.

Widebody or narrow.😂

I went down this road back in the fall. dealer had a new PCP wide body Red eye. I tried to work a deal, but they offered 45K for my 2,000 miles 2017 Hellcat, and wanted 72K for theirs. + tax and Tax and More insurance. Not worth it to me.

What was sticker on theirs? And were you far off on the package deal? Was it their package or your financial wisdom getting in the way?

This is classic because I did this in 1999 lol. I had a 1997 Ram 3500 2x4 Dooley White and traded her for a new 1999 Ram White with the Sport appearance package. Told the salesman 10 times don’t call my house for the follow up survey. Rookie salesman and not so bright lol. Sure enough that weekend I’m working out in my shed, since my barn was still an old barn, and my wife is yelling across the property some salesman is on the phone (land line house) wanting to know how my new truck is. And now I’m like that stupid ass salesman I knew It I knew it . So uhm yeah run with that one

Happy wife happy life!

Better than a black eye. You have made the mistake right out of the gate. Never say I do unless it is to the sales person. Knot headed of the millennium I am,,,, all I have to do is argue with myself. The way I figured it that afternoon. Looking at a beautiful blond or a hell cat on paper. How many hell cats are out their compared to blonds. Even the bleach Pineapple Park count. OOOOps sign the papers and call a taxi. Now I could have both. Just lost a room mate that I don't have to ask if I can roam the beach. Except ask and feed the cat. It's a he, so no blond. You need to drop back and punt. You are running out of TIME.

Got a better idea,, buyer one.
