Haha you’re fine, the reason I wasn’t with was because her dad has been a “salesman” his entire professional career. Not a car salesman, but a very large industrial equipment salesman for very high profile clients across the United States. He’s now a retired millionaire, and also being ex-military, has really nothing better to do other than insert himself into our large financial decisions (we live down the street, so they’re way too involved in our personal lives as they constantly drop by unexpectedly and invite us over for dinners etc).
He got his “large and in charge” pants on when she told him she was interested in this vehicle from a local dealer. He *insisted* that he go with her to give the salesman there a “run for their money”. Normally I would go with, but we also have 3 children all 7 and under, and I work from home, so I ended up taking baby sitting duty.
I fully trust him, but he isn’t as picky as I am with our vehicles. My wife said she let him do his thing, and, well, here we are.
It’s not a huge deal. Just some cosmetic stuff, but I’m very meticulous when it comes to purchasing used vehicles. I’ve basically done it my entire life… I used to flip cars for a living, worked at dealerships, etc. Sometimes though, you have to put your ego aside and show some respect to your elders.
