Yeah, just ask Drewpy.
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.
But thats his thing, and he does it for himself, as he doesnt to my knowledge hand over any of his records when we buy and sell.
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.)

Now thats a valid point. If you are into whittling them down. But if its something that speaks to your soul and you just gotta have it and no one else has one, are you going to refuse to buy it because they couldnt provide records?
