Personally, I'd have no trouble at all showing a prospective buyer
my personal logs, if requested. What harm can come of it?


True but it may not tell the whole story. A friend of mine had a C-152

issues. He asked me to put time on the plane to hold down
deterioration and keep the engine in shape.
