Agreed whats up with all the bashing? He did not come for advice about whether or not he should buy her a car, just discreet options... sheesh you people need to lighten up here.
I hope it all works out for you and your SB

Wish you the best but you have to understand this will NOT end well for you, there's almost no chance the way you are going about it.
There ARE safe ways but you're bent on borrowing money yourself for her benefit and that one is the classic failure scenario.

Sorry if it blocks some gals from hittin a man up for a car here, but it can go badly for the girl, too.
ex: Car is in his name and he gets pissed at you and repos it...
Seen
that scenario, too. What's the girl to do? Sue him in civil court and reveal that that illegal services were rendered as payment? I think that voids any contract automatically and she will have outted herself for nothing.
Cash is king. Pay as you go. Stray from that model and things can and often do go haywire.
Wanna be their life coach and teach them to save for a car? Go ahead.
Wanna help them out with a down payment after a weekend together? Go ahead.
We are just preaching harm reduction here. Reduced exposure reduces the risks of either side getting butt hurt and screwing the other one over.
