A Pittsburgh driver traded in a Lexus SUV for a Ford, but he soon feared he’d made the ‘biggest mistake’.

A TikToker called Zach took to the app to share his feelings on the trade-in.

He told his followers that he’d switched out a Lexus GX460 for a Ford Bronco Sport Badlands.

His viewers were quick to tell him that he’d made a miscalculation.

Trading in a Lexus SUV for a Ford

To have buyers remorse is one thing.

But to have givers-away remorse is something else. If that’s even a thing.

At any rate, Zach may just be experiencing it.

“So I might have just made the biggest mistake in terms of a vehicle trade. I traded the greatest SUV of all time, my 2022 Lexus GX460, for a new Bronco Badlands,” he said on TikTok.

Despite his misgivings about losing the Lexus SUV, he had nice things to say about the Bronco’s interior.

“This thing is actually pretty nice on the inside. I already have a ton of opinions about this vehicle,” he said.

Many people weighed in on the comments section, and backed up his earlier statement about it being a mistake.

“You’re right…you made a big mistake by trading in your GX460 for that,” one wrote.

“Yes, you made a mistake, and I am a Ford guy,” another commented.

“Why would you get rid of the Lexus for that?” a fellow user asked.

Why all the negativity about the Bronco?

Well, according to some drivers, the car began experiencing a ‘rear brake groan’.

One forum user who had racked up 15,000 miles said they noticed this every time they tried to back up the vehicle.

Another complaint was that the rear doors were too tight, while others griped that the battery suffered from premature corrosion.

Car regrets…we have a few, then again…too few to mention

Cars cost a lot of money and are often investments of time on top of that.

So it’s only natural that people would have some misgivings from time to time.

For example, Hillary Clinton regrets not having driven since 1996.

A man who bought a 1962 Chevy Corvette that had been parked for 14 years soon came to regret it.

But then there are some who take a risk and have no regrets.

For one woman, it was towing a boat down to a San Diego lake using a Cybertruck.

And another woman made the switch from Mercedes to Mazda with no hang-ups about it.

Everyone’s situation is different.
