I don't for the most part. Some get tossed in the glove box till I get pissed about all the junk in the glove box and they get tossed.

Sometimes I wished I did when I think something was replaced a year ago and I figure out it was done 2-3 years ago.

If I'm thinking of resale when I'm buying it and it isn't for business I shouldn't be buying it anyway.

I never ask for records. If I don't know the shop then I don't know if I can trust the records. Everyone has a "friend".

My Tribute had a rear line go. It must have been repalced because it was put on wrong. I have a hard time believing it happened at the factory but anything is possible. So having a paper saying it was replaced would seem good unless you looked at it and seen what that it was on wrong. There is a tab that should be in a slot. If it isn't in there it will put the hose against suspension parts and start the wear process. So that paper doesn't mean much. I guess you could use that paper as a map of things to look over to see if they were done right.

Bottom line is I don't keep most of them and I never ask about them.

One last thing. In that thread he was talking about how dealers should demand the records or pay them less. I'm guessing he has never tried to trade anything in. Most don't offer much anyway because they need to make a profit (and they will try to get as much as possible) so there isn't much more they can take off and offer without risk of a fat lip.
