Why not assume there has been NO work done, and the car ran flawlessly from day one.
What do you think it's now worth?

If I bought that car with 66k, I would
Replace all fluids (diff, brake fluid, oil, coolant, steering, gearbox)
Spark plugs, air filter, belts, hoses.

There's your service history you'd have anyways.
Now, it's all current for $300.
This one was more of a fixer upper. I added up everything that would be needed to replace missing pieces, fix defective parts, and change the IMS bearing and clutch, and was looking at between $5,500 - and $6,800 worth of work. I'm totally fine paying $12k or more for a 2002 S with around 66,000 miles on it. I just wouldn't pay that much for this one.
