Give her a choice. Pick three cars instead of one. Get pretty brochures from the dealers. Let her enjoy the gameshow aspect of it. She can choose the color, the car etc... She will likely end up picking the same car you would have chosen for her, but the act of choosing is its own reward as well. Mothers generally like to be 'advised and asked' much more than they like to be 'given or told' what to do. :2 cents:

She has been in the loop. She looked at the website with me and decided she liked silver. I just bought it on the phone a few minutes ago for a Wednesday morning delivery. We went a bit further and got one loaded with most of the options and she is very pleased.

1st I gave her a K car, can't remember which one. Then I gave them a lincoln grand marquis, 90s, not a new one. They ran both of them into the ground.

Also bailed her out on her mortgage a few times. She still lost the house.

Just felt like bitching. I don't get her nice cars cause she can't maintain her things.

C-class is a good size car for her. I don't think she would do well with an S.

What would you get for her?

My mother has been hinting around that she would like something. I am thinking about a C-class 300 4matic. Anyone have any experience with one?
