    Default The Car You WISH You Bought...

    We've all heard about the cars you wish you never sold, so post up opportunities you had that you didn't take up on, either a lack of money or not into it at the time but now regret it.

    I should have bought a super clean, all original 63 Chevy II for only $4K. I passed on it, and regret it now. When I say clean, it looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor that day.

    before I bought the Integra, I was looking around for some "older" gen cars that I knew would be somewhat easy to build, and somewhat content if I were to add boost into the mixture.. It came down to my 2 choices, either the MK3 Supra or the 90 - 91 Civic/Integra.. hehh I think y'all can guess which one I regret NOT choosing. :O

    I usually always get the car i wanted....but a few years ago i was really really close to signing my life away to financing hell for a Black A6 2.7t, but the maintenance and the trouble i may have with the car stopped me..... mileage was a little too high for me to be financing.... but i some times wish i would have gotten it...

    Luxury - Awd - T... but the horror stories i heard and the bad talk people always had about the maintenance got the best of me!

    Just because of the deal i came across with it, and the way my mind was working on a "first-come-first-serve" type thought process.... Just so happened that I ran across my 'Teg before I ran across a Supra. And i jumped on it, and traded/bought it.


    Iknow. LOL....

    I overpaid for my Alfa. Sometimes I wish I just went with an e34 5 series, but hell...whenever I have a small regret about what I bought, I just remember that I'm driving an Alfa Romeo. Sometimes I wish I kept the SAAB, but that was a car my parents bought and my ego got the best of me...so I thought I'd just buy and maintain a car on my own. Feel free to laugh now.

    I should regret getting the base Cooper. But I got a huuuge hell of a deal on it and in the long run it's going to be sick.

    I love it, cant ever own another main car.
    Got a MINI? Don't talk to me.

    FUCK your FADS

    wish i just would have bought a 07 STI instead of my bugeye on which i pretty much swapping everything out with STI parts. Would have saved lots of money, and time, but at the same time it's makes my bugeye a bit different. Even though i own it, i still park it at times...walk away, turn back and admire the beauty of it.
