Does she know? Lol
She knows. She just took it for her first drive. Afterwards, she said she likes it. I said, “You’re almost smiling!” She chuckled and gave me a hug.

Jeff: you're a good guy. We usually agree here, but even when we don't you're a gentlemen.

I appreciate that and wish you and your wife the best of health and happiness in her new Wrangler.
Thank you Andy, and same to you!

I DID just buy her a much better Jeep than when I bought mine stock. I think I deserve more than a hug ;)

God help me...I’m doing the paperwork right now, at the Bradenton Jeep dealership, for a 2020 Sahara for my beautiful bride.
That's a known dealership strategy. By the end they will sneak in an extra 4k and hope that you sign on the dotted line so that you can get home and go to sleep...

funny how that works out.....
She actually did not want to go. She finds the process to be nauseatingly stressful. Also, she knows I’m more effective with this process if I am by myself, and talking to her on the phone.

At one point, when they came back with the first set of numbers, they gave me space to call her. I told them she was going to be very displeased. I spoke with her for a few minutes, got off the phone and gave them a thumbs-down. They came back with new numbers, gave me space to call her, and I glanced back at them while negotiating with my wife. They were in a little group, staring at me, biting their nails, for the entire fifteen minute phone call.

Having an unseen wife on the phone is a GREAT negotiation leveraging tactic! The second set of numbers were miraculous, but I still made them sweat for a few minutes.

That, fortunately, didn’t happen, and I would have caught it if they tried. They actually came down thousands of dollars with the second and last set of numbers.
