Am I the only one...

That still shops for the car they bought after they bought it just to make sure they got a great deal?

I find myself still checking my Tesla feeds every day and trolling Autotrader for new listings.

I do this with every car I get.

[Mook]

Nah...but I havent bought a fairly new car in a LONG time. Buying a modified car, you mostly know you got hosed somehow so its best not to check and see what else could have been.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Nope, whats done is done.

 

[Bub]

I am still checking the prices of Silverados. I'm digging enough options on the '16 to wanna see what I can do as far as a deal is concerned.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i never stop shopping.

 

[1quick]

I still look for new different cars every day, I start shopping for my next car the day I buy a new car

 

[sickmint79]

no, what's the benefit of that

 

[Mike K]

no, what's the benefit of that

Emotional validation?

It's like I'm pretty sure I got a good deal but I just want to make sure. So I keep checking my feeds and Autotrader just to see if maybe there was an even better potential deal to be had.

I've done it with pretty much every car I've bought for the last five years. It's just confirmation that I got the great deal I thought I got.

But yeah, no benefit whatsoever.

I'm with this guy!

People do this with homes all the time. I tell them I'm going to stop their home search once we have executed a contract and they ask me to leave it running. I point out that the market may go up or down and don't blame the Realtor if they see any better prices. If they do see prices that make them feel good, however, I get the credit.

 

[VenomousDSG]

I do this with a lot of high dollar items, not just cars.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yup, I am still sorta shopping fridges...

 

[WindyCityDentRepair]

I have definitely done this the couple days after a purchase just to make sure what I bought was either on-par w/ price or that I didn't get shafted.

 

[willizm]

I like to be aware of the market before and afterwards so yes I do the same.

 

[SMRTSS1]

I still check out prices on Silverados and Sierras that are near my current mileage and to see what '14 and up Sierras are going for (just in case).

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Raptors are still going for 48-65 between 20-40k mileage.

I did it with the G6, I did it with the Focus ST.

And I swear monthly I consider selling or parting the GTA to fund a different project. But never really get to the selling bit.

 

[smokiechicago]

I always contemplate all kinds of stuff.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I'll probably consider the Focus RS too after I buy it. Which that reminds me. I need to bug John and see if he knows anything about its production status.

 

[IDAFC21]

Didnt do it w/ my focus. I dont need that stress I know i probably didnt get the BEST deal, but I was perfectly happy with the deal I got, so whats the point of looking around afterwards. No point in going around 2nd guessing yourself. Unless youre a huge impulse buyer, you should've already done your homework and shopped around for the best deal. Same goes for anything I buy. Especially electronics If you look around 2 days after you buy something you'll always find a better deal

To learn from mistakes if you find out you did something wrong after a purchase of some sort

 

[IDAFC21]

i tend to do a lot of research prior to a big purchase and only pull the trigger once im sure its the right thing to do. So like i said, unless youre an impulse buyer, no point in looking back. Be happy with your choice and move forward

 

[smokiechicago]

Well sir, I probably should have explained myself better. I didn't mean
just for big purchases. I do apologize on that. But yes I agree on going
on with ones choice if they did their homework and made the right deal.

 

[IDAFC21]

I can understand the need to do it. Its just not my style is all.
