I say KR, I mean Mrs. X coudl wait for 6 months. I am sure by then he will have softened and the funds will be closer to where they need to be w/out financing it.

Even though Mr. X knows Mrs. X wants it and woudl make her happy, theres a chance he coudl begin to resent the car and subcounciously Mrs X for makign him go against his wishes and having to finance it. Guys are all wierd like that.

Ya never know how that resentment thing will work out.
The construction company I worked for until a few months ago had this problem come up. The VP of Marketing was the owners wife. They were always bitching about needing to cut costs and that they didnt have enough $$ for Christmas bonuses, yet for christmas, the company bought her, in cash, a brand new Audi converttable. Employees were not pleased. We all enjoied watching her drive around in our christmas bonus.

It could be a polarizing issue. Tell Mrs. X to just let it go for now & keep driving the mommymobile. She'll win tons of points for just waiting a while.
