Cars you regret buying

Following the Car you regret selling thread

My 55 plate Octavia 1.9TDi

A complete dad's car imo. If I had my money again I would have pump for summat a bit more hotter and an estate.

I regret swapping my fully paid for 328i Sport for a 996 Carrera via a 330i Clubsport.

I could have used that 60 grand.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0DID GS3.

Poor interior, no rear visibility due to the huge spoiler, weighed 1650kg and fitted with 275mm front brakes (smaller than a Corsa), noisy VW 2.0TDI engine, climate control which either froze you to death or melted your face off, crap lights, alarm that went off when a fly landed on the car, useless door mirrors. A real piece of crap. The 1.8 Vectra I changed to was an upgrade in every way.

The Moral? If its yellow and plastic - walk away.


Does this one count - I didn't buy it, as I was given it. still regetted it.


Hmm - see its yellow again.

[Redmax]

Clio 182. Ludicrous driving position, and a resonance at about 4000 revs just as it was getting into its stride that Renault never fixed. Should have gone straight for the Golf GTi that followed it instead of trying to save money. Also should have ignored the road tests saying how wonderful it was. Hateful car.

That 7 clone is fking ACE!

I once bought a Porsche 924 that I couldn't afford. Owned it for 3 hours before I had to sell. Bloody ebay.


Cars I actually owned - I've not had anything boring enough recently to warrant regret. The only cars I've ever owned that I didn't like were inherited or given to me. I guess I should have got rid of some of them sooner than I did. The Primera, certainly, that was st.

Alfa spider.

Phase 3 55 reg one. From new. Company car for the missus.


Utterly utterly shyte in every way. Amateur hour.

Brave (but probably stupid too )

2002 1.0 Vauxhall corsa... my first car.

Was an unreliable piece of crap and cost me loads to keep on the road.

[v8will]

Mk4 Golf GTi 8v

Soft, thirsty, slow, fell apart. Knew within an hour of picking it up i'd made a mistake. A real piece of crap compared to other VW's I've had.

[Tsippy]

Funnily enough..... a MkIV Golf GTi 2.0l non-turbo.

Slow, thirsty and handled like I was riding Vanessa Feltz.

Mk4 Golf appreciation thread anyone??

[Wocka]

VW Scirocco 1.6 CL

BMW E30 twice.. I don't learn from my mistakes.

[Plug550]

Clio V6 new in 2002. Never bought anything since that I haven't driven.

Strangely looking for a tidy example again. It's old age you know....

[dome]

A Mercedes w202 c250td. Terrible car, made worse by the fact I sold my w124 to get it.
