I work in the trade and have recently taken in a Mk3 2006 MX-5 2.0 Sport in Black with 34K on the clock. I can buy it for a smidge over £5k for my better half.

She needs a new car and this is a great example, need some PH help to convince her!

Go.....!

I'll swap it for a newer 1.8 if it's the power she's worried about.

She procrastinates over everything! She has to hurry because I'm sending it to the block this week if not.

Come on man, you do that for a living!

If you can't convince your missus you she needs an MX-5, you're in the wrong job.

It's a beautiful car with great heritage. The roof comes down. It is a lot of fun regardless of where or how you're driving. It will sell for more than you paid! etc

Is this a genuine quandary or an advert?

Get the lowered suspension and the alignment done by WIM. Transforms it.

I've given up trying to influence my wife over her choice of car.

I think we just have to accept different people like different things, mine has recently turned down changing her soft top smart for two, for a BMW 3.0 Z3 !

She has chosen, (and is now driving), a shiney smart for two hardtop ...... because it's what she wanted.

You're doing it wrong.

Tell her about this lovely car you've got at work...

She'd love it, it's an MX-5 just like she wants... but she *can't* have it. No way. It wouldn't be professional. You can't allow her to have it.

Stand back and watch her complain about not being able to have it, then after a suitable time, "cave in", apologising as you do so.
