Your 99% assumption is definitely wrong. They are usually pretty good, but not perfect- i like to combine carfax info w Auto check as well.
The 86 911 i was looking at said it had been stolen in 1986 from the dealer then says recovered 3 months later than says a month later involved in collision declared total loss. The owner had no idea as carfax said info reported 2013 - So actually believe the info is wrong and the owner just needs to fix it, or that car really had a rough start in its life lol

Mythinformation was not a mistake lol it's what I and several others in the collision industry like to call an abundance of information that we are being fed that is actually false and in some cases somewhat mythical. When you say they are "usually pretty good" what are you referring to? When you are on the other side of the equation and a car has a clean carfax or autocheck or whatever what do you compare that to to know that it truly is accident free? I do a lot of inspections for clients looking to buy cars. They only bring me cars that have clean carfax reports. I would say 50% or greater of those cars I indentify previous accident damage and poor repair indentifiers.
