When I change my parent's oil for them after one of those shops do it, they torque the fucking filter and bolt down so much it makes it a big pain in the ass to change. Filters should be hand tight.. WTF?

You guys think it's not important because none of the buyers you've had so far have seemed like they cared. But that doesn't prove nobody cares. Pretty sure that Camry has a timing belt, right? If so, it would be scheduled for replacement every 75-90K miles. Meaning that when you bought it at 165K, it probably was due for its second replacement. It would certainly save you money and time if it had already been done. And if in fact that's what the owner told you, wouldn't you like to see some verification of it? Otherwise you are simply taking his word. Same with clutches. If I'm looking at a car that old, and its clutch has recently been replaced, that's a potential advantage in my eyes. But if it can't be proven, it's not an advantage anymore. Two different Camry's, same condition, same amount of miles.......If one can show that it's timing belt & clutch had been recently replaced, I'd be willing to pay $500 more for it.

You might be able to call a service manager and give him the VIN and see if certain recalls had been taken care of, but for him to read off all the maintenance that has ever been done is probably not gonna be something he's willing to do. And that assumes his records even go back that far. |

So on the one hand, you guys are saying proof of maintenance isn't important, yet on the other hand you're saying you'd call a shop to find out if it's been maintained. Which is it?
