Buyers remorse

[mstng86]

I just bought an expedition. I haven't had to buy a car in 8 years, so I forgot how it feels. Everytime I have a big purchase I get physically and mentally drained. Maybe it's because it's financed and I hate committing to any kind of monitory deals.

Is this pretty much the norm? My wife is excited and I'm driving home thinking I have to make that payment every month. Is there a different feeling when you pay cash?

Only if you get a good deal! LOL

Car payment = da debil.

New? Did Skip give you a deal if it was?

Everybody hates getting into a new or used car payment it seems like its wasted money lol

It usually takes me about a year on cars. So I go buy another one.

It's good you feel that way, to a certain extent. You realize what a commitment it is. It's one reason my wife always drives new stuff, and I do not. One car payment is not a problem, but two can be a drag. I buy something with cash when I need it, and it's not near the stress or worry.

You get the same feeling paying with cash. I keep thinking there could have been a better deal out there. I bought the last 3 new vehicles with cash. For me I calculate how much I had to work to buy the car. I'm glad it only happens every 5-7 years

I would feel the same way if I agreed to let someone monitor me.

Just bought a car a couple of weeks ago.....no remorse here! But we bought it for a purpose.....mpgs! We looked at hybrids, roller skates and everything in between. We put a deposit on a Honda Accord Sport. Then before the car came in we decided to back out and go with a VW Passat TDI. On the first tank we got 42.4 mpg on our normal routine which is mainly back and fourth to work and around town. We went to a car show in Amarillo over the weekend and got 44 mpg with a strong crosswind.

Used. I did inquire with skip weeks ago but they didnt have what we were looking for in used. I honestly forgot to check back with them.

Spending money is a serious subject for me. That sterio I bought from you may have been my biggest non necessary purchase in a couple of years. I normally only buy big stuff if I see it will really add value to my life. The stereo was out of the norm for me.

And yes, I still driving that red Tacoma I had that day. Been driving that for 8 years.

You are right about that. It does make her happy so there is a silver lining.

Enjoy your debt lifestyle, plastic slave!

I paid for my dodge in cash, and I held the check for almost a month before I sent it off. I made my wife write the check for the down payment on our house.

I can blow tons of cash in small increments, but I have a hard time with big sums.
