Funnily enough - if you are pressured to buy a car enough that you are afraid to say no, you are covered by the fair trading act. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/p....html#DLM96949
We learned about this last year (bear in mind this is New Zealand) but if you are harrassed or pressured to buy a car, then you are covered!

Anyway...buying a car and sex is very different.
