Do you think this knocks value off a car even if the car runs nice?
Basically when I bought my saxo, the guy I bought it off (Dad's friend) said it had 2/3's service history (85k miles) so I bought it and was waiting for the book, which subsequently he couldn't find (surprise surprise, the guy is a knob jockey and his cars always have a story).
Anyway, the car drove ok, but I'm looking to sell it now cos I can't seem to shift my Vectra. I've replaced the gear box cos the other one was shot (wouldn't stay in third), I've had the handbrake tightened up a bit, replaced the exhaust cos the other was loud and had 2 holes in, I've had a full service done, and just got it through it's MOT and taxed it.
It's an 03' VTR and I'm looking for £2,000 for it, but can I expect to get that amount without service history?
Cheers!
