Hi,
I was having a discussion with a friend recently about pre loved cars and what you buy if........There were two cars, identical models and age but both with different histories.
Car 1. A one owner from new. never smashed always garaged, perfect maintenance history. Not restored in any way and totally factory spec. But was in exceptional original condition but showing its age a little lets say the car was 10 or more years old. Stone chipped paint, the interior a little worn and has low klms for its age.
or
Car 2. Several owners, no log books, un-able to confirm its history execpt the current owner who has, repainted it, restored the interior and mechanicals, modified it lots so it is much faster, new wheels and tyres, shocks, springs etc and overall looks very very good has had lots spent on it but has lots more klms than car 1
Which would you buy. Both are the same price. :woohoo:
