I kept every garage receipt and MOT report for my Punto and 3 Series - neither the private punter who bought the Punto nor the garage who took the 3 on trade in even looked at them!
The Punto buyer's only concerns - she repeated them often enough :-) - were that it was clean and it was black, and I'm pretty sure the Subaru dealer knew which trader he was going to move the 3 on to before I'd even parked it on his forecourt.
Within the week it was for sale in Dublin with a comment on the trader's description to the effect that it was a remarkably good example that had been obviously well cared for. But there was no stamped-up sevice book to show that because I'd always taken it to a good local indy who is good on BMs and Alfaas.
