The thing that would bother me is the lack of service history. Diesels NEED to have regular oil & filter changes, and lack of proof of this can be worrying. Without regular oil changes, although the mileage may be 135k or whatever, in the engine world it could have done an equal to 200,000. It’s all very well having top notch spec conversion work etc, but without service history, could be an expensive risk. Bargain hard if you intend buying it!!!The fact that it’s just had an oil change means nothing, especially if the last one was 50,000 miles ago!January 23, 2012 at 6:33 pm #135380mgroadsterParticipantThe thing that would bother

Good point about the service history. However, the seller might mean that there are no stamps in the service history log, as that’s how I read their description.
It’s worth checking with the seller. They might have serviced it regularly, and they might have some proof of it.January 25, 2012 at 12:51 pm #135398DarrenKeymasterGood point about the service
