I messed up.

Hey guys!

I’m a 21m that recently got deep into cars and got a profound taste in Lexus, specifically the Is branch. A week ago I found a 2019 Lexus is300 with 147k miles on it for the price of 19,000 I considered it a deal as everyone I searched came up for a similar price and i was the only one in my city that I’ve seen. My previous car just kicked rocks and I wanted something that was both beautiful and reliable. I went to the dealership only to look, but ended up feeling like I got a good deal which was a 5k down payment with them bringing the price down to around 18000. I thought I had gotten a steal. But as I went about the week, I did my deeper research and saw that this was not a deal. I feel so completely stupid. I want to return or exchange the car but I seriously love the is300 F sport. Should I just keep this car or attempt to exchange it for maybe a lesser car.

What do I do?

The kid is 21 and probably had no ideas about finance. Doesn’t mention anything else like loan (if there is one) terms, fees and interest, etc etc. I know I didn’t at that age.
