Had a look at a 4200 today , and I had a bit of forum advice ringing in my head - if the S/H looks not quite right , walk away.
The car I looked at was a 2004 model , main dealer for the first few years then it got a bit messy.
1 x missing 31,000 mile major service
1 x missing 2012 annual service
then
2 other annual services were carried out at an american car specialist in essex,
1 service at a porsche specialist. So 3 non specialist services in total.
Its a ten year old car and I wasn't expecting it to be perfect but I was expecting to see good specialist stamps in the book.
In terms of service history , what's acceptable and what is not ?, i.e. a missing annual , one or two non specialist stamps ?
I take it these sorts of things really affect re sale value... ?
