There are a number of ways to clean data in any survey - this is the uncleaned raw data summarised. You are of course always vulnerable to people who are not truthful, but generally most people here appear to have been straightforward.

People who paid more than 100% are either referring to an auction estimate or are usually buying a "special" car, for example a particular Daytona Spider or an F40. Appreciating or very scarce cars have volatile prices (in both directions).
