In my email...

Lilian says I should "Buy now, you won't regret!"

Aside from the run-on sentence, which is way wrong, could the sentiment be correct? Is it true that if I buy now, I won't regret? And does that mean that if I buy now, I won't regret ANYTHING? Or I just won't regret my purchase?

And what does "now" mean? Does that mean right now - like by the time I publish the post, it will already be too late? Or does she just mean that this is a time in my life when I should buy - like I should spend freely in my late 30s and early 40s, and all the regrets of a lifetime lived to the fullest, with all the mistakes and bad judgement that entails, will be wiped away?

I think these are clarifications I'm going to need in order to decide if I should, in fact, buy now.
