Your post said that, "maintenance is recorded in a national database by all reputable mechanics now". That is not true. In The Villages, I have had my car maintained by both Firestone and Sumter Tire. Firestone has 1700 shops in the U.S., and Sumter Tire is well regarded for doing excellent work on cars. But, neither of these auto maintenance shops enters any data into that website or any other national database. So, I think that using that website to determine if a vehicle has been well maintained would be virtually worthless.
