So do you Laminate it to protect it or is this a bad thing to do to it? Does this cause problems if I ever wanted to sell the car, do buyes frown on having them laminated? Thanks

It also prevents the simple 'water test'. Scan it & print a copy if you need one for reference. Insert the original in an acid free archival page protector & store it in a safe place.

There are no advantages to laminating a BS unless you plan on using it as a place matte or a frizz bee. In contrast, there are negatives such as Barry mentioned. Determining it's originality becomes far more difficult, and the heated process can easily cause damage to the ink and paper (even if not apparent, it does change it). In your case or anyone else who's already done it, once it's done it's done. Just trying to offer some advice to those who haven't made the same (IMO) mistake.
