hi all,

just flew 1400klms to buy a 2nd hand 100 series cruiser wagon.

was told by the seller (car yard) it had log books and had been regularly serviced without any problems.

the seller went thought the log book with me on the phone and told me where the services were completed.

i attended to pick the car up and before i drove out of the yard asked where the log books were?

the seller claimed that the log books and owners manual had apparently been taken out of the vehicle where he was sitting in his office telling me when & where it had been serviced....

since then the whereabouts of the log book and owners manual is unknown!
they seem to have gone walk about.....

a phone call to the seller today to check up if they have been located and posted to me has revealed that the books cannot be located and he now wants to give me a 'replica book' to replace the original!

has anyone had this problem? is there anything i can do about it?
we are concerned this will eventually affect resale with 'replica' books!

he claims that the book will be stamped by the businesses that performed the services etc...

i have since registered the vehicle in NSW and bought accessories for it, it's not like i can return it!

concerned, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

i have a reasonably nice vehicle but no books, not even a owners manual!

smithy.
