Go ahead and scrub the personal info for legal reasons, but let me have the records! This killed the deal for me.

Dealerships are always going to lean towards being safe, so rather than developing redacted versions of the records, they tend to say nothing. And as a legal point, the records belong to the owner who paid for them, not the car. This is why we always encourage owners to keep their paper records in order, they may be irreplaceable down the road.
