Why dont people keep service records?

[Captain Morgan]

No. I generally drive my vehicles into the ground. By the time I'm done with it, I'd be lucky to get much above scrap value, so there's no point in service records.

This is me, except I do keep my records and receipts.

Nope.

I don't own anything special enough to warrant it.

People that keep pictures of used oil are the same ones that think their $2500 A4 is worth $8k because it has been "well cared for".

It may never be worth $8K, but there would still be a range, depending on condition.

External condition (paint, interior) affects resale value. Likewise, so might how it's been maintained, and whether proof of said maintenance exists. I know it does for me.

But that is if you can trust the records. If they had all the work done at a shop that I know then I would go talk to the shop. I could trust it then. If you believe everything that is written down I can forward and email I got last week that will allow you to get over 15 million. You can buy new at that point.
