do you actually have a notebook where you write down the mileage of everything you do/replace?

i mean, i always keep receipts, but it looks like you write it down on a separate piece of paper

yeah, but I bought my 1997 Tib for $7,500, when another Tibs were around $9,000.

PS I know price is HUGE, but we have crappy tax on car import.

Yes, I have a notebook with all repairs.
