Wife wants to give up SL and ML for 2003 ML500

[G-Benz]

She's at it again!

SL has "mortgage size" payments...ML is one payment away from the "balloon". Wife is tired of the ragtop (can't get in and out of car easily at her age, yada yada), and the large payments. She wants to dump the SL AND the ML and drive home a new ML500 (with goodies).

Her logic is that we get rid of one car note and a car that she is no longer in love with. We also avert the "balloon" and shrinking factory warranty on our current ML and start fresh.

I am in favor of refinancing the current payments and keeping them both. She thinks I'm being thick-headed and just want to keep them both because of pride (yeah, I'll admit that I like looking at 3 MBs in the garage).

Should I give in to her whims and consider her proposition or stay the course? Btw, she already has a an MB salesman hunting down the "right" ML500 as we speak, and has our figures...so we know it's do-able.

What should I do?
