I'll admit, it would be easy to fake a generic invoice. But the colored & serrated paper that big shops/dealers use isn't something most people are going to use in their printer. Not to mention replicating the dealership's logo and everything. Kind of doubtful that anyone would fake that for 100K+ worth of services.

He could have easily had all kinds of components installed. He also could have removed them himself, sold them separately, and still show somebody the paperwork proving they were there at one point. But, I don't remember if you're still considering slipper clutches, or only services.. |

I've interviewed, managed, and sold enough people over the years to tell with freakishly good accuracy, when someone is lying... even when someone is REALLY good at it. That said, most people are REALLY bad at it. Also, I'm no expert, but I can look over pretty much anything mechanical and tell if it was abused or in the least, poorly maintained. AND you can tell a lot about how something's maintained based upon how well the person responsible for it maintains their other shit. It's not rocket science... And... I think what the people are saying, without double talk as you imply, is that if they are that concerned about maintenance records, there are other ways of obtaining the information without saving/asking for every receipt for everything that's ever been done... |

It is important if it saves me time when deciding whether to buy someone's car. No matter which make & model I'm looking for, there's always several of them being sold in my local area. Asking about service history is one way to whittle down the options and save time, rather than going over to everyone's house.

tee hee. ![]() I have to say, in my short like I avg a car at least every 2 years. New, used, etc. Bikes too, tho I kept the GSXR a good long time. And NONE, I repeat NONE of the purchasers, be they private or dealer have ever asked or cared about records. Nor can any be provided the few times I ask when they tell me how good it was taken care of. I dont keep them, I dont see the point in more unnecessary paperwork cluttering the place. Not to mention, most of ours is done by the family mechanic, Dad. I'm sure he keeps every single receipt for our stuff and has it filed alphabetically and by date. ![]() As far as mods and such, unless its something crazy awesome, which it never is, I'm not paying more than a vehicle books just because you think you should make some money back that you put into it. Cars arent houses, they dont appreciate. They depreciate. (Again, unless its something insane, like an original Shelby racing Cobra or something along those lines.) Quote:

I wouldn't call Drewpy's choice "the most well kept." Bart is pretty hard on his stuff.

Thats the same advise that I got from a dealer when I asked about a used Blaster that they were not selling. He said to change the piston and rings. He said I don't care if they said they did it yesterday, you will want to replace them as soon as you buy it. Would have saved a lot of money if I had listened to him. James
