Offer this solution: if she is worried about daughter's safety, she can sell any two of the three vehicles the women drive and get one replacement that's completely paid for. Or sell all three and get two different used ones.
But no new car payments.

See I love that solution and have made a similar suggestion. Sell the Tercel, and add some to it (out of the bank) and buy the daughter a nice used midsize car or small SUV.
Didn't go over well. It is women logic. No offense to any women here
Idunno I would normally go back and forth about this and try to make her see my point and it would wind up in an arguement. I think this time I am just going to stick to my guns and ride out the storm.
Let our daughter use the 4 Runner when she needs it and keep the Tercel for her Daily Driver, that way she has a safer vehicle to drive in the traffic going to and coming home from school and still has her little car to run the streets.
I can honestly hear my wife 6-8 moths down the road saying what in the hell was I thinking when I bought this thing and took on this payment, not to mention the issues if she got the new highlander and it gets a scratch or our son spilled something in the seat, plus it would wind up sitting in the driveway while she drove the accord to work everyday.
Idunno Guys thanks for the suggestions and thoughts I appreciate them.
Just when you think you are going to make ends meet someone decides to go and move the ends. hehehee
