Most of us could probably supply you with the information on our own cars for free. Some of us (myself included) have Carfax's or Autocheck reports we obtained when buying the car 2nd hand or possibly obtained when we bought a package of reports while looking for another car.

No one should trust this sort of data from your spreadsheet when it comes to buying a used 1M later anyway, so if someone here lied, I don't think it would effect anything other than our "fun stats." I would put the caveat on the spreadsheet that the data, or some of the data, was user supplied and could not be verified.

Carfax and Autocheck reports are certainly worth obtaining when buying a used car, but I would not rely on them 100% for proving that a car has a clear title or that it was never wrecked. Some of the service reported is also misleading. I took a car in some time ago for PDR of a small ding, and that visit got reported as though it were scheduled maintenance on the Carfax.
