Buyers Remorse?

[paddyhasneeds]

Any of you ever get buyers remorse? Not so much "God why did I buy that it's ste" but that almost guilty feeling that you can't justify the money etc.

+1 My instant thought upon spending any money on myself for anything bar food and fags is "That money could have been better used on...." I think it's starting to infuriate the other half as he's practically now demanding I treat myself to something every month.

Constantly.

With a lovely wife and too many kids I feel guilty every time I spend money on myself.

That's why I'm really not sure if I should buy this:

even though I know it would make me very happy...

Sometimes I do get that creeping 'do I really know what I've taken on?!' notion that makes me picture lots of hideous worst-case scenarios of cruelly rusted internal structures, amateur-hour electrics catching fire or just horrific crashes (I was once contemplating buying a Celica GT-Four, and wasn't completely put off by this, but had a dream around that time when I was driving down a country lane at night and came across one that'd come off the road, flipped upside-down into some trees and generally seemed to resemble the scene presented in Bruce Springsteen's Wreck On The Highway, just subconsciously put me off a bit).

Yep, about a day after I got my Lancer. Stuck it for 8 months and traded down to the crappy Mondeo I have now, which is on the whole a far better car.

Typically lasts for 48 hours, that's when a salesman knows he's likely to get a cocker if there were any doubts about the deal.

My remorse usually comes from a car being below par in the long run. Car's I've loved on a quick test drive which later turned out to be rather lacking were Lotus 111R, 147 GTA, Subaru STI.
