"So honey, this car came up for sale and I went to take a look at it (shows pic).  It in great shape and a fair price.  I went over our finances and we are in pretty good shape right now.  I think I want to buy it.  What do you think?" 
 
1.  She says "Looks nice honey, why don't you get it."  Crisis over.   
2.  She says "No f***ing way you are bring that home.  We are 3 months behind on the light bill"  Put it up for adoption fast. 
 
Although the timing of events might be a little ummm, out of sequence, you did technically include her in the decision process.  They NEED to be included.  To just spring it on her is a Lorena Bobbit offense.
