7 new cars that people regret buying

Some car owners experience buyer’s remorse after one year. ISeeCars.com analyzed 5 million 2014 model-year cars sold from September 2013 to March 2014, then checked one year later to see what percentage were sold as used cars. While only 2.7 percent of cars overall were sold after one year, iSeeCars.com noticed these cars stood out for having a much higher percentage of sales — 7 to 11 percent.
