Upper Sturry Style Puzzle

You were on the right lines with something about a car.

He buys her a brand new car costing £8000.

She then goes out and writes it off.

He then goes to a scrap yard and buys the exact same model in the exact same state for £25.

He bought her a new car. Then the day after her birthday - 30 years later - she breaks it (by wrapping it around a tree or something) so he buys the same model, which is now all rubbish and old, from a middle aged maths teacher in Slough for £25.

He wanted to get rid of it because it was just sat in the garage taking up space, his wife had been nagging him for years, but he couldn't face giving her up. He'd had the little motor for years.

Still, now he can store body parts and stuff in the garage now, loads of room.

The next day the maths teacher went out and began his spree. He was known as the 'Long Division Strangler'.

I bet he multiplied the Pain, divided the body parts, subtracted the blood and added his phallus to the still warm body. Those math teachers always were a bit odd.

Getting closer. What he bought her was something for a car.

Heats, does the Long Division Strangler give you recurring nightmares?

Academic joke, gets gown and mortar board.

Well done Toffeepar, and welcome to the crazy world of GOT. You seem to be on the right wavelength.

We had a few contentious puzzles from Upper Sturry Sherbets recently, this is one in a similar style:

A man buys his wife a birthday present costing £8000. The day after her birthday she breaks it. He goes out and buys another one, exactly the same as the first, for £25. What was the present?

Insurance/warranty on the initial purchase.
