I hate my new car, I feel sick

It’s my fault, I was easily talked into it by the sales person.

It’s such a basic car and I’m embarrassed by it. It’s expensive and I want to cry

How bloody awful for you .Cannot imagine how embarrassing it must be to have such a cheap run around.
Hopefully you can park away from the school gates too save your shame!

Thatbloodyhedge · 11/11/2023 12:51

Bloody hell
I'd hate to be you

fuckmyuteruslining · 11/11/2023 12:51

How utterly ridiculous

Hummusanddipdip · 11/11/2023 12:51

I drive an A Class as a family car. DH had to go all fandangled and get top spec, but even the basic model is pretty lush and wouldn't be affordable as a first car for any parents I know....

What on earth is wrong with it?

Moonlightdust · 11/11/2023 12:51

Oh go away.

tootrueblue · 11/11/2023 12:52

Don't be a wanky prick OP. If this is even a real thread, return the car if you don't like it. And perhaps use your big girl voice next time 🙄

It’s a Mercedes A Class and I just think it’s basic and a car a parent would buy a child who just passed their test.

I'll have it if you're giving it away? 😉

RoseDog · 11/11/2023 12:52

Now I feel like a failure as a parent because both my kids passed their test last year and they got Ford fiestas, I'm surprised they didn't contact social services about the neglect!

Jessforless · 11/11/2023 12:52

Yeah, I really feel for you 😂

Balloonhearts · 11/11/2023 12:52

Almost had me OP. Almost. And in revenge I would like to inform you that you just lost the game. Since we're playing silly buggers here. Ciao.

theyawn · 11/11/2023 12:53

DS17 is that you??

Reallybadidea · 11/11/2023 12:53

I'd say you've got bigger problems than your imaginary car

SquashPenguin · 11/11/2023 12:54

For a second I thought you were going to say you’d bought a Citroen, and I’d have understood why you were embarrassed, but I think you’re fine with a Merc!

I don't think there is a cooling off period if she went into the dealership to order it?

What's wrong with it? Why is it embarrassing? Was it the best you could get for your budget?

There's a cooling off period with all finance so unless she's money bags she used finance 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mojodojocasahaus · 11/11/2023 12:55

This is either the weirdest stealth boast ever or op has twins 😉

getinthedust · 11/11/2023 12:55

Jesus, from the reaction here you’d think I said a 2024 Porsche.

Why would it be a wind up? Or me bragging? It’s a common car

Mine brought and paid for

10 year old VW Polo 1.2L
12 year old Mazda
11 year old Peugeot 1L

So huge failure here!!!

Im off out in my tiny i10.

hby9628 · 11/11/2023 12:56

Hahaaaaaa! This thread is hilarious
Don't worry I'll swap you for my beaten up smax

Keepingittogetherstepbystep · 11/11/2023 12:56

My 1st car was a yugo 45, no radio, no power steering, breaks were either stuck or falling out. Happy days. A l9mg way from any Mercedes.

I'm sure it'll be fine once you get over buyer remorse.

@Mojodojocasahaus

im thinking 2 sets of twins & a DH that pulls his weight!

Paperbagsaremine · 11/11/2023 12:57

Do you actually not like driving the car OP, or are you, for some reason, just not thinking straight right now?

We should always listen to our feelings - but be careful about obeying them all the time. Feelings are not facts and they are NOT necessarily a good guide to what's in our best interest - as anyone who's struggled to study, exercise, or save will know!

Floooooof · 11/11/2023 12:59

Horribly common, what on earth were you thinking?

Funnyhahaha · 11/11/2023 12:59

Is this one of those threads started by a Daily Mail journalist so they can report on the responses next week?

Passepartoute · 11/11/2023 13:00

You poor love. How will you take the shame? I will definitely sneer at you as I sweep past in my Porsche performance car.

Well you did state that it was expensive!
Now I'll just pop into town in my 2005 Ford Galaxy.
