I've never purchased a vehicle from a stealership before, but having watched my Dad and Mum a few times over the years I can say in all honesty that I will never ever vehicle shop with my SO. At least three times my Dad has ended up having to purchase some complete POS just because Mum "loves it!" Its how they ended up with a PT Cruiser convertable, a 27ft trailer they've never used, and my Mum always taking my Dad's truck to drive (the only "toy" I can ever recall him buying himself other than a new computer once in a while) rather than the car she forced him to buy for her.

Maybe it's different when you're married or something, but the only vehicle I would ever shop for with my SO would be a mini-van. Anything else and she can buy it herself.
