Yes.
My first real car was a 1998 Z71 truck. I never test drove the truck, I just bought it, I worked at the dealer, and they had huge discounts on them. I got talked into the 4x4 too. I drove it about 3 miles and thought to myself, Uh Oh! I have 35 more payments of this, what have I done?!?!?!? I traded it for a 1999 Z28 new of course (I thought I was moving on from the dealership and wanted to get a sporty car - more my style). I loved that truck by the time I traded it.
1999 Z28:
I loved that car. I leased it at the time to keep payments down, then planned on buying it. The t-tops leaked, it squeaked and rattled, but I loved it. I teared up when I turned in the lease. I was getting married, house, 2 cars, couldn't swing it.
2001 VW Passat:
Still have it. 267,000 miles, I drive it like a race car. best car I have owned. I thought the turbo went a few months ago (turned out to be a coil) I got very emotional about having to get something different. I was even planning on a newer GTI, but still the thought of not going to my grave with that car is unsettling.
1997 Kawasaki ZX-7R:
Wrecked it the week I got it for being stupid and inexperienced. Put 21,000 miles on it. When I sold it, my hands were shaking when I gave the guy the keys, again nearly tearing up as he rode off with it. (I bought a ducati 996 the year before and couldn't justify 2 sport bikes - still have the 996)
