RE: [doc] Car for sale.

Hi Chriss,
Yes I except your points on listing all parts when your selling a car , i 
think if i ever where to
sell it i would be only listing extras like the ss exhaust euro springs 
and maybe the new leather seats.
my fear on the insurance is not having a correct value and under insuring 
it then in the event of theft
or fire not being able to replace it for the the money.
regards paul.
