This is a well known and studied marketing and psychological concept known as "post purchase dissonance" and the higher the value or stakes the decision is the more likely you are to experience it even if you have covered all your research bases etc. don't worry it is normal and if not universal it is certainly the majority of people who experience it with a big decision

I suppose it's fair to assume that the feeling of asking someone to marry you is referred to as "post purchase dissonance" given the high stakes involved! ;)

I meant to delete the marry bit, same concept but hopefully in Australia at least there is no actual purchase involved.

Thanks DiscoWeb. Dealer rang today to confirm that they would take delivery of the car in the next 2 days and it would be ready next week Wed... Wed %^&^#? What do they do with it for a week. I know I'm darn lucky I dont have to wait long... but a week of dealer pre-delivery? Only option they have to add are floor matts.

I'll let you know about HBA once I try them. The local possums have their sunglasses ready :)
