Buyers remorse

[JC316]

No, I never have buyers remorse. I research what I am after until my eyeballs bleed, then I search for a good deal, and then I pull the trigger.

I have three on me, it's the new norm!

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.

I am exactly the same. I want a new Corvette bad but always consider what would happen if one of us lost our job or wanted to change.

I always have buyers remorse. I always have. I want something, then I get it, then I don't want it anymore. Girls, cars, houses, stuff, etc.

For me, the wanting is always better than the having.

we haven't had a car payment since 2005 but the Mrs has been looking at cars. not looking forward to a car payment.

I hope I don't have to finance a car again, but I like swanky shit, so I bet I do.

With the interest rates, I would rather leave my money somewhere it can earn me more than the interest on the car loan.

That's not possible right now, presuming you're talking about a savings vehicle.

Buyer's remorse? On this millionaire per member website? Surely this is a jest thread.

Interest rates are about 1-2 percent for 5 years. So for a $25,000
loan you will pay about $1150 in interest. That's not much, for the use of 25,000. A decent mutual fund should cover that.

I have buyers remorse every time I buy something that doesn't make money and cost a good bit of money. I think it is normal/.

[LS1Goat]

You shouldn't have buyer's remorse if it's something you really want and/or need.

Carcrazyguy, stop talking crazy talk!

You can get some short duration triple A paper that yields that. Little more duration to get a little more.

My last "new" car had 147k miles on it when I drove it off the lot and I paid cash for it. i hope to roll it to 300k+ miles before it dies.

I hope to never have another car payment ever again.

This.

If it's what you wanted and you think the deal was fair, enjoy the ride.
