You can always tell if a car isn't 'right', if you know what you're looking for.
If its too good to be true it usually is.
Keep your wits about you people  :smiley:

I dont trust service books 100% anyway and i know what to look for,i just feel sorry for the inexperienced/gullable buyer of the car one of these would go to.
Really does extract urine! :angry:

Bought the missus's old corsa without a service book, and had a look on ebay for a new clean one. Couldnt believe how many were there all for sale as it really can be abused. That was a couple of years ago, and I read something after Googling it about ebay insisting they were looking heavily into it. Obviously did sod all then, so I doubt they would now. New/Copy ones are fine for people who want to put some sort of history on their car if it has none, but old ones coupled with a used set of clocks can really turn out to be someones nightmare, especially if they have not been checked out properly.

As above, receipts are much better than a stamped book.

I always do, shows that you looked after and cared for the car.

Reciepts mean nothing if you saw my college work.  :laugh:

Had to use reciepts as proof of work I'd done, never really kept reciepts for personal/familly cars tho. Cars too old for them to matter.

Just Photoshopped them all.
