I disagree with this, for me you have fallen for the salesman's ploy, the increase the price of cars with manufacturer service, then independent service, for me it's condition, condition condition, the mileage doesn't really matter with cars today, German & Japanese diesel engines will just keep going & going & going. A low mileage car that has just pootled around the lanes can be as big a timebomb as another that's spent it's life up & down the Motorways. I would also rather buy from a person selling their own car than a dealer, the dealer has no idea if there is anything wrong, the owner will know all about it, you can get a vive from them how honest they are.
But as mentioned, the worth of the car is almost irrelevant because it's usually a tiny fraction of the cost of the holes it can put in other cars, historic buildings and innocent lives.
We had a Skyline awesome car, but just like an psychotic ninja it would try to kill you at the slightest opportunity
We looked at Marmalade for insuring daughter, but they appear to have a limited range/age of vehicles they'll cover. It works as an extra layer 'pay as you drive' for young drivers on top of our insurance.
I discovered marmalade yesterday during my research. They won't insure for Joe's area of Manchester
You might well be right - I'm often well behind the curve - but for me, the service history tells you more about the condition, condition, condition that actually matters - ie, the non-cosmetic stuff - than anything short of a full inspection by someone who really knows what they're about (and is likely to charge for it, unless they're a mate). I have to confess to being surprised to hear I've fallen for a salesman's ploy. I've never had any dealings with salesmen. I always buy privately.
Just remember virtually all Reps cars are lease cars that have full service history & we all know how well they look after & treat their cars with respect!
