Help me spend my money

Only thing I will say, is sometimes, going with factory financing sometimes gets you a grand off of the price.  I haven't bought new, since 1999, but had a friend buy a new F250, and he got the grand off then he made 3 payments, and paid it off...

Jordan's reply is too much work.  Black electrical tape, and the light problem is gone.  Might not fix the stalling part. 

Unfortunately, I have never bought a new vehicle off a lot.  So I can't speak to the offers and the promotions. 
The only thing that I have ever done (right or wrong) is when the salesman asks to talk numbers, I tell him if he can shake my hand lets do business.  If he has to get his boss to make the deal, then get out of my way. 

My daughter and her mother-in law both have Escapes, they like them. I've drove
my daughters a couple of times 1800+ miles and found it fun to drive.

Sister inlaw just bought a little chevy car for husband to run to work, they brought it over and it wasn't too bad getting in and out, they had a good price on it and she used all the GM points she could. When it came to signing the papers the salesman really pushed extended warranty, she said no salesman got a little crabby. she got the car without the extended warranty. I think I would have told the salesman not today and walked out.

when I bought our first Suburban (1987) it was used, but a tough ole bird! (oh..and it's a diesel) bought it at 83,000 miles. not one ounce of any problems until it hit 403,000 miles and that's when a crank broke in the engine. bought our next Suburban (2003) with around 80,000 some thousand miles on it, and got a lifetime warranty when we bought it. we've never had to use the warranty, it's got over 200,000 miles on it now, and the old lady.....oooops….I mean the loving wife just bought another Suburban (2011) with just over 100,000 miles on it. we still have the other 2 burbs, I put another diesel (military) engine in the '87, the '03 is still going strong but the body is starting to rust on the rear quarters. she came from a family that if there was rust on a vehicle, you stopped driving it! PffffT! all but the '87 has 3rd row seating, have never used the 3rd row seats. as soon as I can find a place that the mice won't chew up the seats, i'll remove the third row seats in both of them. then they will be like a 4 door pickup with a permanent topper on it. better for hauling anything! my '87 got around 27 MPG, both the '03 and the '11 are getting in the area of 21 MPH highway. she told me several times she won't be without a Suburban. she went thru 2 conversion vans before, a Chevy and a GMC. both full size, both about the same MPG. she likes having the 4x4 now for just in case!

Hay where are all you smart but cheap folks a hiding???????????

Won't ever buy another Buick.  The Lucerne was supposed to be like the Park Ave.  HAH, what a joke.  I loved the Park Ave, but no I won't ever touch another Buick again!!
Sorry Ray, but that's the only advice I can give you...

Buy her a bike, it might change her altitude.

i drive a ford truck.

However the wife is sold on Toyotas.  We are on our fourth one and nary a one of them was in the shop period.  Cept for oil changes.

Well the deal is done.   A almost new Toyota Highlander. Way more bells and whistles than anybody needs,but not near all you can get.

All right, we got a 15 Highlander that the wife just loves.

It is on the Oil change every 10K miles and a life time power train warranty.
