Call me crazy, but when I check out a used vehicle for sale (dealer or private) I always check the windows and other areas of the vehicle to see if there are aftermarket replacements installed. If someone is upfront about the vehicle's history and has the paperwork to back up all maintenance and repairs, then great. But when there's little to no paperwork and the seller doesn't talk about the car...you have to rely on the cold hard facts about what you see and know about the car and from there make a decision.

Having all OEM parts helps with peace of mind.
