Regrets - we've all had them.
But with cars - buy em & flip em every few years has been my motto.
You can always get another.
Better to reminisce about the one you should not have sold - than the girl you didn't kiss, I mean car you didn't buy, lol...

Yes sir that was quite the bed, Dealer had never sold a car that way, and I hope I never have to buy one that way again. Life comes at you fast.

Good friend in high school offered to sell me his 10 year old car for $400 ($3,100 in today's dollars). It needed new tires and had several other minor issues so I passed. It was a 1957 Chevy Bel Air CONVERTIBLE! Even in rough shape that car today could be traded for a new C7.

Just make the best decision you can at the time and don't look back.
