Have you ever had buyer’s remorse? If so, what’s your story?
2019 Silverado. Transmission. I was a Ford fan, but got the A plan because of my step dad. Then last years strike turned me into a Toyota fan as I will never buy a union made vehicle again.
I have a 2007 tahoe with 180000 on it. It's been great. Maybe you abused your 2007.2007 chevy, made me a Toyota owner. Scattered the 4 speed at 42k. After 5 years it looked like a 30 year old car inside, totally falling apart.
Drove my 2013 tundra for almost 11 years just fine. Non-car people thought it was new.
Bought a 2024 recently, hoping I didn't get a funky engine on that one but Toyota is fixing them either way.
Generally anything I didn't bother to research very heavily I immediately regretted.
The only good impulse purchase I ever made was a house in Texas - should have kept that.
2007 F550 Lariat...6.0.
Painful learning experience, both financially and mechanically. Only vehicle I ever bought new, and only vehicle I've owned that had that much work, to stay stock.

Yup!!!My First wife.
Why bud?our 2011 Tahoe, hated driving that thing.
I would say this but if my ex never did what she did I would have never met my current wife!Like above ^^^^^ My first wife !
Absolutely. Our 2008 American Revolution 42K ISL Diesel Pusher RV.
Well documented here on RDP, #ThisDamnRv did not even make it home from pickup in Southern California. $25,000 in repair bills just in the first days of ownership, I think we are double that all in on repairs since Feb 2021 when we bought it. It has had a mechanical issue every time it has been driven except twice. We lived in it and traveled the western states for two years, so moving days were filled with stress.
It currently is cooking in a storage unit at Islander and will be reduced to travel trips between islander Storage and the season spot at Islander.
We love the floor plan and finishes, but hate the drive train. My personal opinion is that the source of reliability issues are due to the federal regulations for emission controls, and the various sensors associated with the drive train.
We still own this because we have not decided on what our next moves are regarding our seasonal stays in Lake Havasu. We have a favorable interest rate on the loan rate on it so we've mitigated our risk, by leaving it in one spot. The storage unit is cheaper than the repair bills.
We've spent so much on repairs and updates, my guess is that it will make a nice RV for someone when we sell it, but we have lost all confidence in traveling with it.
We also owned a 6.0 ford PSD, we bought new, I actually loved that truck, but the same thing, as others, the 6.0 PSD was terrible. I recall we did three of everything that goes wrong with those things under warranty. Gave it away at Carmax. Should have tried for a Lemon Law. Everything else on that truck was great, the interior was the best of any car I have owned at holding up.

Thats a really good point 49 years and counting with number 2I would say this but if my ex never did what she did I would have never met my current wife!
It was the engine and trans mainly. It didnt know what gear to be in and shifted all the time and didn’t like when it changed to 4 cylinders to save gas.Crazy..... I refuse to buy a new car because I love driving my 2011 Tahoe. I have test driven 5+ new trucks and SUVs be ause my Tahoe is creeping up on miles but I never pull the trigger because I have never driven a more comfortable car.
Diggin the square bodies in the background. K5, and is the other one a truck or blazer?Thats a really good point 49 years and counting with number 2
I wish we could all be as smart as you...I don't make impulsive purchases, I like to take my time and give things some thought. Never had buyers remorse but I have missed out on some things because I took too long to decide but I can't even remember what they were now.
I will add that my 2007 GMC Sierra Denali was the most problem free truck I've ever owned, wish I'd never sold it.my 2007 Tahoe runs and looks perfect
