I hear what you’re saying, and I’m the same way. I’m extremely bitter about it, but when it comes to buying a car again, I’ll likely be a somewhat nice guy about it, and won’t go around trying to rip people off who are in desperate need of cash. I live in false hope that what goes around comes around, and eventually I might get some returns for not being a d-bag (like a lot of guys on this forum, and others, seem to be [and don’t realize it])
I also know what you mean about wanting to get rid of a car because you know you got screwed. It happened with my Trans Am, I had to replace the engine less than a couple hundred KMs after buying it, and after that, I needed to get rid of it. Every time I drove it, I just was reminded of how badly I got raped, and it wasn’t enjoyable to drive. It was a good car after a lot of work, but to me it wasn’t good memories.
