Lets say you saved a rich blokes life, suffering some injury which you will fully recover from in the process.
In gratitude he decides to gift you with your choice of any one car or house you like, up to 500,000.00 pounds.
He will pay for the vehicle or house in full, but will not simply give you the cash.
A condition of the gift is that you must keep it and actively use it for ten years.
You may not barter, sell, trade, rent, lien, or encumber the title in any way.
Only after ten years are you free to keep or dispose of the gift as you see fit.
Maintenance and any tax's are at your expense.
Which do you take, or do you just refuse the gift?
I would take the car, to me a house is just a place to sleep and life is lived while awake.
Curious how others would respond, and a brief reason.
