Selling a recently purchased car

I recently passed my driving test and brought a car on Tuesday from a dealership, a used car, and am now regretting it. I Feels I've spent far too much on it, is too big just for myself, and already the wing mirror case is missing. The main issue for me is parking at home. At the best of times there's nowhere for me to park. I live in a block of flats with 8 other residents who all have to share a 2 car driveway. There's a street next to the flats I can park in but it's nearly always full. I can't park in nearby streets as I need a permit but to get one I have to be a resident of that street. To be honest I thought I would be able to park in the nearby streets but didn't realise I needed a permit until after I brought it. I feel such a fool.

Please can someone give me advice. I thought I'd be really excited buying my first car but am actually feeling really down.

    You'd think the "Prime Minister" would know the difference between 'brought' and 'bought' :o

    You have no legal right to a purely "I've changed my mind" refund.

    It's a 2007 Yaris for goodness sake. However make sure it has got the optional rear brakes fitted.

    OP - is it really a Yaris? What smaller car would you prefer?

    I recommend a Little Tikes car. You can then park it in your hallway. You can even get a Police version. Bargain £60!!!!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
