Again, GIGO..... if the data is good, the report is worthwhile, if not...
So, if the report is only as good as the data, and the data is known to be spotty, how do you trust any one report? Esp when you have to pay $45??

Example: My 2007 Ford F250 Harley
I was backing a large car trailer up a hill at the lake. Narrow tree-lined drive. Short story, my open door caught a tree and bent the door backwards. Oops.

$5500 later, I had a new Ford door, the A-pillar was trued on a frame rack, and the entire LH side was repainted except the bed to match the color and factory painted flames. I did turn it in to insurance (American Family).

Sold the truck the following year. Told the guy about the paintwork. He pulled a CarFax. No record. He was pretty upset with CarFax.
