 <compression test with service records in Germany
   I think that it would be an excellent idea to do a compression test at given
 service intervals.  I, like many others, have purchased my car used.  I
 sometimes think about all of the ways a car's service history can be
 documented, and then think about the 100K miles that the car saw before me and
 begin to think the documentation is not worth much.  If I bought it new, I
 would document everything to the letter.
          I do document more than the average owner though.  I keep all of my
service reciepts and keep a running total of expenditures for the car.
