I just sold a 98 Tacoma that I purchased brand new. I had every piece of documentation possible with that car with the exception of gas receipts and insurance receipts. Mfr brochure, contract agreement, etc etc as well as receipts of all scheduled services.
Of course the fact that it was in excellent condition surely helped but it was pretty obvious I still loved the car 19 years after buying it. It had one door ding. that's what happens when you marry into a Jewish family where not one out of 40 members don't own a pickup and they ask to borrow it. At least they admitted to it and offered to fix it.
Back on topic now, yes it ran and looked great but I'm sure all the documentation proving that I was the sole owner really helped me get very very top dollar for it. My very non scientific guess would be maybe 500.00 or 5% on a 10k dollar sale (at least as it related to this Tacoma). Personally I would pay a decent amount more for a nice Porsche or old Shelby with equivalent documentation.
