Personally, I would never tell a dealer "I have to ask the "Boss (Wife)" as that is really none of his business. For most of my 57+ years of married life (To the Same Woman) I have been the sole bread winner. I never considered my pay check "Mine" but "Ours". I fully realize I am in a totally different financial bracket than the majority here, but neither of us ever made a high priced purchase without talking it over between us to determine whether we were able to cover it. If a dealer could not deal with that when I was likely extending myself a bit to start with I would simply walk out of his door & Never Return. Appears I have no need to even enter John's door as I know how he feels about me consulting with my "Financial Adviser", who incidentally has always tried to help me in any way she could to be able to make a purchase that we really couldn't justify, but which she knew I wanted very badly. I have in return done the same for her.
