    Great PO

    So on Sunday I stop by the PO of our new (to us) 2004 IR Vert to pick up the 2nd key -- his wife had that key and was away when I picked up the car a couple of weeks ago. He asks how's the car is doing and I tell him the wife loves it but we've had a few maintenance items to attend to. Explain the fix to the seat back release lever (he was aware of this one) at about $300 and the battery/alternator replacements at about $900. He excuses himself for a minute and comes back with a $600 check, says he feels bad that those things happened and insists on splitting the bill with me. Totally unexpected and truly appreciated.

    Wow very very cool! It's always nice to meet the previous owner especially if they are enthusiasts. And even better if they are handing out checks hehe

    Any idea what he might have upgraded to?

    That is impressive! You should send him a fruit basket.
