Default Thumbs up for Ben

Only seems right to give Ben a big thumbs up.

We (my Mrs) went and bought a car from him, unfortunately it has developed a fault, out of his control totally of course.
He has been very decent, even offered to buy the car back!
It can be awkward in these situations when things go wrong when we are all friends here.
You are a gentleman and would not hesitate to buy another car from you.

Just wanted to make sure the air is clear if you know what I mean.

I know that Ben gave the funds from the sale to a charity which was very generous. However, the moral of the story is its best not to sell a car to anyone you know as sods law says the machine will fail and give you no end of grief. The very reason why I've never tried to sell any of my cars via this Forum.

With any used vehicle, it has to be Caveat Emptor, no matter how good the seller is.....any car can break down at any moment normally the most inconvenient.

Sorry to hear about the problems as the car looked superb.
