Regret putting deposit on a car costing half my life savings, anyway to refund?

I put down the deposit in late jan… so 7 days cooling period wont apply?
Been thinking about the big ticket purchase and having second thoughts cos it took me about 6-7 years to save up the amount.
Test drove the car and it was really a yolo moment. Its a cool car but i could have put that money towards a house downpayment.
Now the rational me is beating up the yolo side in me. I’m pretty sure i will enjoy driving the car a whole lot but I’m doubly sure ill enjoy a larger house more.

- Can sleep well tonight….you took 6-7 years just to save the downpayment?
So many shit advice in this thread, enjoy slaving into your 60s- (OP) No 6-7 years is to save entire car amount. Dp is around 10k iirc
- sorry for asking but what car is it? im curious
- (OP) Its an ev car with one of the nicest interiors. And yes i topped up for the interiors cos the test drive car was that spec…
- Unless you think you’ll have problems paying the monthly instalments, perhaps just lean into your original decision and enjoy the drive when the car arrives.
Life is short, you won’t be able to take all your savings to the grave anyway… might as well spend some of it when you’re relatively young and have no commitments yet.
