Were you really excited when you bought your first car?

Question

I couldnt get really excited because i just knew something was going to go wrong. The finance guy even told me to get excited but i couldnt let myself enjoy my first purchase. It was really stressful. Getting a great insurance quote was a ***** because I was "a new driver". I still can't get used to the fact that I have a car now. I've only been driving for 4 months. Anyone else feel/felt the same way?

Answer 1

You've been in the car for four months. Look at it this way, everytime you are walking to your car, just say to yourself, WOW, that's MY new car, it's so awesome. The initial shock of the payment should have gone away by now, but that's ok, just look at every day as one more time to enjoy your new toy.

Answer 2

The first car I had belonged to my parents.
The second was an 82 subaru gl. My father picked it out, and I said okay.
The third was an 86 olds cutlas calais. My father picked it out, and I said okay. He set me up for a car loan at a bank, and I made the payments.
The fourth was a 95 chevy pickup that I picked out with absolutely no help. It was brand new. I loved it...no reservations at all, or buyers remorse.

I still have it today, and am getting rid of it this month. I just bought a used Chrysler Pacifica. I went through a lot of angst in deciding on it, but I feel confident I did the right thing.

I don't feel REALLY excited, but I look forward to having a completely loaded, comfy car that my whole family will all fit into. Yes, I should feel excited, but I never have. I just go with the flow.
It'll hit you once you have had the car for a while and you can drive it whenever you want. It is all YOURS.

Answer 3

Oh oh oh, I felt I was signing my life away since the payment was high for me. I ended up not buying the car, and I'm now looking for one with a lower price. But yeah, it wasn't very enjoyable. I think it's more exciting when somebody suprises you with the car you want :D.
