I have sold a few cars over the past few years and I can honestly say no-one has ever asked if had a full 'dealer' history; only a full history.
The days of 'implied' provenance for a dealer service history are long gone IMO. When the law changed to allow non-dealers to service cars and retain warranty the game changed IMO.
I have bought a few cars recently aswell and I couldn't care less if it had been serviced at a gold-plated dealership, or Joe's local garage. As long as it had been serviced a lot and have invoices to prove, all good for me!
