Default Cars you regret NOT buying

Are there any cars that you had the chance to buy, but didnt (passed on) and now regret it?



I had the chance to buy 300zxTT but didnt because I thought my insurance would have been really high. So instead I bought my tib. Come to find out after I got the tib, my insurance would have only been $15 more a month with the 300.

In '04 I almost bought a '99 Ram 2500 4x4, manual trans, Cummins crew cab with 67K miles on it for $24K. It was making over 700 HP and 1200 Lbs./Ft of TQ. I bought a brand new supercharged Frontier crew cab instead. Worst decision ever. I hated the Frontier and traded it in 9 months after buying it.

There was a 77 Firebird Trans Am just like in Smokey and the Bandit that was in great condition for $4,000 that I wished I had bought.

I had an 88 Dakota truck that was totaled when a girl ran a red light. I had the chance to by it back from the insurance company and didn't.

A friend offered to sell me his 2G gsx for like $1800 many moons ago. I wish I had because his ex-wife stole and wrecked it after his last tour in Afghanistan

That damn Kenmari >_< I still want one but 12k was and still is out of the question for one in such desperate shape.

Last year a dude locally was selling a retardedly well kept, powder blue AW11 for 1200... yeah. Would have been a fun toy.





My #1 automotive regret:
Not buying Majik's Tib That was a one way ticket on a run-away fail train for me.
