As a former dealership tech, I can verify with certainty that warranty time is NOT how long it takes. At least not for the first 10 or so times on a job. After you've done a few, maybe you can make a few minutes profit. Maybe.

Did you write the graff in your profile picture?
No, but it's right around the corner from my work so it's easy to snap a few pics from time to time. They spray over it in black and put up new art about once a year, pretty cool stuff.

CSB: Stacking wood and jamming to some music. Decided to hop around. Tripped over my shoelaces and fell over like a sack of potatoes. 
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I'm not sure how "complete" anyone would consider the maintenance records you have are for a 13yo car you have had for 6 months...

]ha same here minus the tripping over partCSB: Stacking wood and jamming to some music. Decided to hop around. Tripped over my shoelaces and fell over like a sack of potatoes.
I forgot that I printed all my maintenance records for my mk7 and put them in the glove box along with a nice note to the next owner before I traded it in. I hope it gives the next owner some peace of mind and some good vibes. I hope to see it around town soon.
I did the same with my last R. Whoever bought that car lucked out with probably one of the best maintained and well documented vehicles the could have asked for.
Owner 1 left all the maintenance records in the car, and had all the scheduled maintenance done on or ahead of schedule. Owner 2 put less than 10k miles a year on it (height of the pandemic) with documented oil changes in that period. Then I got the car, and did all the things you'd expect to see on a car approaching 80k.

Creepers leaving notes for the next owner.
You guys leave notes in the pockets of donated clothing too?
"They're really tight in the crotch, but maybe that's just me, good luck with these pants, bro!"
