My '96 SW1 5 speed had 300k KMs (186k miles) and was $300 at an auction. But a friend that ran the auction asked me a few weeks later if I had a cheap station wagon around for a friend of his that needed a wagon. So I sold it to the guy at good guy price. It wasn't until it was sold that I looked in the glovebox and found a giant stack of receipts, like a hundred pages worth, of every single thing that had been done on that car since it was new. Replace the brake light bulb in 2001? Yup, the receipt was there. Man I shoulda kept that thing! But my auction friends help me out a lot, and I know on which side my bread is buttered, so here I sit wagonless ha ha.
