When I bought my '85 300D off the P.O. he told me the dealer that he dealt with all the time. I drove to the dealer and they let me inspect the maintenance records for as long as I wanted. The only thing they wouldn't let me do was take them with me. I got some scrap paper from them and just jotted down all the notes I needed. I looked at them for over an hour.

As with the previous post, if the seller doesn't want you to do that then I wold assume he has something to hide. myabe he doesn't want you to see the records or maybe talk with a mechanic about the vehicle. I'd tell the guy "No thanks!"
