Selling your Wife's Car without her Permission

I would kill my husband if he did something like that. I don't like when husband is making decisions alone, especially about things that they don't have anything to do with.

He should Not sell that spacious car as it was her wife's need.

To my mind it was not fair on his part to sell the car without informing her in advance. Even if you term the new car as a surprise gift, it would have given some shocks to her wife. I would not do like it.

Was his intention to give her a surprise? It happens sometimes that what's one considered to be a good idea turn out to be not so good for the other person no matter how close or how much they think they know each other.

My husband couldn't sell my car without my permission because the title is only in my name; I never changed it after we got married. I could sell his car without his permission, though. We set it up so that either one of us can legally transfer the title without the other present, mostly as a 'just in case' measure to make things easier if something happened to one or the other. Really, though, it's not my car even though it's legally owned jointly. My dad pulled something similar on my mom. He took her truck from the parking lot at the school she worked at, went to the dealership, and traded it in for a new one. She was so pissed at him, even though in her case it was an upgrade since it had an extended cab with a small backseat in it. I think if I were in your cousin's shoes I would have to couch him for the foreseeable future. I don't give two hoots about the brand of car I drive, but you'd better believe it needs to have enough room for the kids and all of the stuff I need to take along to make dealing with them as easy as possible! And since the stroller doesn't fit in the trunk, well, obviously I need to get one of those super ugly roof-mounted containers to carry it. Or maybe mount a rack on the back to attach the stroller to. Things like this really do make me so thankful that my husband and I tend to communicate well on issues like purchasing vehicles.

Absolutely unacceptable.

I'd be so angry. My husband and I have recently gone through a huge discussion about the importance of communicating when it comes to finances. We used to not have enough money to get by, but now that I'm working full time we're doing allright.. but at first he was doing things I didn't agree with. I wanted to get the bills paid and he'd go spend $50 on his credit card on something without telling me. It's to the point now where we tell each other if we're going to buy lunch while we're at work. He still slips up and forgets to communicate things to me sometimes... and it always gets me a little angry.

I would have done anything for my husband if needed when he was alive. But that was because we respected each other. I think your story is about a husband who does not respect his wike. That is something to talk about between both of them before just selling. JEEEZZZ!!!

I think the husband should have asked her wife as to what she wants for a new car . Even if it was him who bought the new car for her , he should have asked the permission of her wife still .

I think they need a pretty communication before buying it.

It is forgery because he could not sell it without signing the name of the actual owner!

That's a major lack of respect is what popped into my head. There are surprises then there are surprises....

He had good intentions probably but he should hve asked his wife first. If she's not comfortable with it then she should have the last say

I'd be angry .. haha :) don't care if it's Mercedes .. what matters to me is its usefulness ..

wow, that's pretty messed up and I would prob do a lot of yelling, then go back to the dealership and see if the sale could be reversed.
