Is a full service history worth it?

<< < (2/2)

muddyjames:
I would rather see reciepts of parts as it is more than likely they will have been fitted than just binned. The main thing that swung me to buy my disco was the 2k's worth of bills the 18months before hand as I knew loads of work had been done. With my rover 620i I just sign it myself and keep reciepts. I wont ever sell it but hey it is a history of the vehcile. I even have the AA print out of all the work they did on it when they owned it and it was the service managers car so was well looked after. It passed the MOT 1st time again yesterday. I would prefer to buy a car with reciepts and no service history stamp than service history stamps and no reciepts.

Depends.  If you're going to sell it while it's still worth several thousand, then it probably is worthwhile.  If you're going to hold on to it until it's pretty far gone, then almost certainly not.

If you assume that FSH adds 10% to the value of the car, and do the maths, then it's not worth paying for many dealer services before you're out of pocket.

Boggert:
As soon as my Zuk is out of warrenty I'll be getting my mate's garage to service it, As long as it is well looked after and serviced on a regular basis i'm not worried.

vtrdaz:
cheers for the input chaps!
