Too Afraid to Ask

Buyer's remorse is when someone feels bad about a purchase they made, like buying a car too quickly without thinking it through. They might worry they spent too much money or that the car isn't what they wanted.

Technical Definition

Buyer's remorse refers to the feeling of regret after making a purchase, particularly when the buyer feels they may have made a hasty decision. In the context of car buying, it can occur if the buyer realizes they overpaid or that the vehicle does not meet their expectations.
