I couldn't help but comment on this recent auction on Cars and Bids for a 2002 Audi S8. Gorgeous car, one-owner, and maintained by a dealer in Greenwich, Connecticut, that absolutely charges every one of its blue-blooded customers way too much for services they don't really need.
The seller was cavalier at best, clearly a non-enthusiast who happened to buy a performance car. Despite potential buyers inquiring more than a few times, he paid little regard to the fact that the records existed at the dealership, but he didn't bother to provide them in time for the listing.
When a car has a demanding maintenance schedule and a propensity for costly repairs when neglect sets in, showing that you're the type of owner who doesn't skimp on the repairs puts buyers at ease and makes for an eyes-wide-open experience.
The seller did fine on the sale price but likely left a few grand on the table considering the strong cosmetics and single-owner history.
