When we sold my wife's Civic ~4 years ago, the guy that bought it showed up and gave the car a quick once over, then looked at my garage. I showed him the folder full of receipts for the vehicle and offered to go through them with him and he declined. We went for a quick test drive and when we got back I went to open the hood and he said don't bother. He then told me that after seeing the state my garage was in (clean and organized) and the stack of receipts that anyone who kept their shit in order like that would have taken care of their car. He gave me a deposit and came back in a couple of days with cash in hand for my asking price.

So yeah - personally, I am a firm believer in keeping receipts and records.

Did he comment on those lovely stainless steel shelves?
