Service book missing.

[MattDilley]

I've recently bought a 172 cup from a mate, ive serviced this car since 2010 for him.
There is no service book, to back up any of the previous maintenance. The car has covered 88k and is in good running order.
My question is, would this put off potential buyers for the future sale? Even though I can back up service history for the last 5 years.

I know its not a new car, and things do get misplaced.
Your opinions are greatly received.
Thanks Matt

Any reciepts for the work done?

 

[MattDilley]

There is only the odd receipt, in the wallet.
I carried out a major service in 2013, belts and clutch, water pump, all fluids changed etc.... All receipts for the parts are present for this.

If you wanted top money for it then yes it would put me off, if it was priced realistically and the car drove well with plenty of evidence that it had been looked after recently then no I wouldn't care.

Does anyone know if Renault would have a record of the services carried out by themselves in the early days of the cars life?
If so, is this possible to obtain a print out?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yes. if you know the supplying dealer they may still have a record. If they do ask for them to stamp the service book and send it out in the post. When i say stamp the service book, you buy one fro their parts dept.

I have a full service book from my old cup that i forgot to give when i sold it, complete in Renault folder with clio manual and all other books etc.
Will sell...

 

[MattDilley]

I'll have to see if I can track down the original dealership? Will my local dealership be able to tell me that?

 

[MattDilley]

Your service book isn't from my cup is it lol?!
What are the chances........

 

[imprezaworks]

Normally they will tell you within a local radius. Unless its changed and they can do a national search

 

[MattDilley]

I'll get on to them this week then, see what I can find out?

Any idea how much a service book costs?

 

[imprezaworks]

at a guess 15 ish, dont quote me, just a ish guess

 

[MattDilley]

Yeah, I was thinking around that kid of price?
Only 1 way to find out.......
