Ever regret a vehicle purchase?

[Cooter]

the only vehicles I regretted buying were non-running...

say no to "project" vehicles!

V10 4x4 Excursion. Got my money back when I sold it but ...yeah...had it for 4 months.

What did you regret about it, out of curiosity?

Yours had a big purple penis on the side, don't lie.

May as well have.. Who knows what I was thinking when I bought a Barbie car.

I purchased a 2008 cobalt ss.
Still regret it, but its still fun to drive.

The wife and I leased a new 1994 Pontiac trans-port van. It was the worst piece of shit i've ever owned. The engine knocked and overheated on hot days, the radio illuminated when it wanted to, the driver's door was tweaked so bad that when I took it in to the dealer to have it fixed under warranty they asked me who did the bodywork from the wreck that it didn't have, and last but not least, the nifty sliding door that would open and close when you pushed a button became erratic and would open/close when it felt like it. There were all kinds of mysterious electrical gremlins, and to add insult to injury the factory delco battery took a shit early.

When the lease was up at 36,000 miles I could not wait to turn it back in and walk away from it.

Exactly like this, but without the graphics on the sides:

I replaced that Escort with a Chevy Tracker 2wd. It too was somewhat ugly, and that was really my only issue with it. If it was 4wd I probably would have considered keeping it and making it a toy like people do with the Samurai.

I've owned a handful of cars since 87...a 79 4.4 liter Monte Carlo, 82 Regal V6, 83 Supra, 83 T-Type Regal, 85 Grand National, 87 Buick Turbo T Regal, 94 Trans Am GT, 85 Chevy Silverado, 98 GMC Sierra Z71 SLE, and an 85 Honda Prelude.

NOTHING....and I do mean NOTHING compares to that POS dual carbed, computer controlled 85 Honda Prelude. Worst car I've ever owned by FAR. Hell....when I took it to Honda to resolve some issues even THEY didn't want to touch it. They had a separate price book which was different from all the other cars they worked on. WORST THING HONDA EVER produced.

I don't know about "cool", but those cars were reliable as shit. My Dad had a couple as company cars way back when.

True.. I think I only changed the oil in mine like 3-4 times in the 6-7 years I owned it. Bought it in El Paso, moved to Colorado Springs in it, moved back to El Paso in it, moved to SoCal in it, moved to DFW in it. I don't know how many miles I put on it but I would guess at least 100,000 on the low end.

I did have to replace the clutch at some point, and the timing belt. Otherwise, just a couple oil changes, tires and front brakes is all I ever did to it. It actually still ran when I let them take it.. But was knocking like crazy. At that point it hadn't had an oil change in probably 3 years.

It wasn't a terrible vehicle, but I hated the looks of it. Not convinced they could be made "cool" without MAJOR work.

Come on now, she was a perfectly acceptable set of training wheels

I think you mean life raft.

Rare picture of her after Tony was done:

Shit, you know those red calipers are only on high performance vehicles!
