He's been wanting a Z for a long time. He bought it but regretted he bought the wrong model/type. He didn't regret he bought the wrong car. He knew what he wanted, he just didn't know the difference between model types. I regretted I didn't upgrade to the Touring. That doesn't mean i bought the car in impulse. its two difeerent things.

Uh, it's called poor financial planning, not buying on impulse. Nobodys gonna wake up and decide i'm going to buy a house today and actually purchase it in the same day. it takes months to buy a house and you have to be financially qualified. its not impulse buying. you have months to think about it.
