almost unlimited SWMBO approved car spending!

I think I just beat swmbo at her own game, she killed her berlingo last week, and for some reason decided she'd like a Renault scenic.

Me, being a kind and caring individual agreed to buy it, on the understanding any time/money spent on it outside normal car wear and tear gets equaled on the toy car.

Needless to say, I'm half way to affording an IVA already (need 2 sets of window everythings, front strut mounts, inlet manifold seals and the electric handbrake stabbing in the face)

Unfortunately applying the same principle to my wife's 98 Corolla wouldn't get me much as absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it in the past 2 years

Same here, I'd just about scrounge together a set of tyres, a pair of wipers and a tank of fuel...

Wow Renault scenics about the most unreliable car going. So you'll have your car done in no time.

Nah, it came with those issues, all standard scenic problems, cheap enough and will tide her over until the insurance pays.
