As for the reliability of a CF, I've heard (true) stories of a dealer taking in a trade, running a CF that came back clean and then running it again a week later and it has something awful on it. Dealers get screwed too.

Still, they are better than nothing in most all cases and sometimes have a lot of valuable info in them. I like to see where an older car has lived it's life, more than anything. A car in a lovely car state like Oregon or North Carolina often lived its whole life in Detroit until 2 years ago, etc...
Still there won't be any thing on my car considering 1976 and Europe.
