Before you click on the link, just try answering this question.......
What does "full service history" actually mean when you go and buy a car?

I foound this letter on e-bay and found it very interesting. Before you ask, no I havent bought the car, someone else has, I was just intrested in the legal defination of "full service history"

In that case, my car has FSH too

Hey, long time no see..you been banged up or something

Just read through it all and to be honest i can see both sides.
She did say it had FSH but Saab only provide a service manual up to 100.000miles
The last recorded service was 125.000
Then it has reciepts for work done after that. (she seems genuine)
He on the other hand expects a service history by the dealers up till the day he bought it.(it's 12 yrs old and immaculate).
He even says he's happy with the car and can't fault it.
I'm not sure what the outcome was as he's re-selling the car for around the same price he paid
He really comes across as sounding like a whinging arsehole.
