    How can you spend £4000 on a car that, according to a lot of posters on here, never goes wrong, is ultra reliable and would never leave you stranded at the side of the road.

    Spending that £4k makes it ultra reliable etc etc.

    If they won't take cash off you then by all means get them something nice as a thank you. Been in the same boat, and I've always refused to take money, but I always end up getting something off of folks.

    It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without being seduced by it.
