At that age it's a bit like us. You can join the club as long as you a still breathing! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Personally, as a buyer I would would be happy if a potential purchase came with a wad of receipts backing up the history. I keep all paperwork for our cars.

I had that sort of thing when I sold on my CRV with a stack of service receipts for parts. I was told by the dealer "I will look at them if I have time".

Thinking back to when I bought my current FL2, the garage wanted evidence of SH as part of the agreed part ex deal and when I handed over the book pack and pile of receipts the sales guy was pretty impressed and certainly didn't quibble over the price offered...

All the maintenance I've done to my Freelander is handwritten in the back pages of my Haynes manual, every oil change, brake pads, haldex service, timing belt etc.

And you were happy with that arrangement. I assume it didn’t take a couple of years to sell the car😂 Seriously though, it’s nice to see the public giving support to car dealers.. |

I bought my 2010 HSE auto with 115 k miles. Main reason was large folder of invoices and servicing done.

Obviously selling auction is different to normal selling.

I`m in the more evidence is better group! I however have sold a few vehicles to We Buy Any Car recently and there is very little difference in the price offered for a car with incomplete or missing service history to a vehicle with a complete and comprehensive history! |

To be honest as they can pretty much forge anything now days how do you know a book full of stamps is genuine or not. Think like everything it has to be taken with a pinch of salt. |

Thinking of getting a stamp made up for service books (not that LR have them now)
