Speaking of wives buying cars, in 1986 my wife went to a local GM dealer and looked at a 1979 GMC full sized Jimmy. By luck of the draw, she dealt with an "old school" salesman left over from the days when, if a woman began looking at cars you patted her on the head and told her to come back with her husband.

Came time to talk price. They had it priced at $5995. My wife offered them $5300. The salesman went though the standard drill of checking with the Sales Manager. He came back and said, "The Sales Manager says we can let you have that vehicle today for $5700".
My wife replied, "You didn't understand me. I said I'd give you $5300". Before she left, she bought it for $5300.
