Getting rid of her car? Seems like overstepping.
Sometimes people are very attached to their cars. Often particularly cars like veedub beetles. I have a 96 ford, which although is nothing special has sentimental value to me and I'll never sell it.
Having someone present me with a new car and tell me they've gotten rid of my ford would be a kick in the nuts. Not that I won't accept the new car, but I'll keep old faithful thanks.
...then whoa, differences...
