Marc--
I ran the VIN on your prospective purchase through a database to which i have access (no public access, tho). Appears that the car was a recovered theft back in 2003......it was declared a total loss by the insurance company. It wasn't stripped but it was damaged. How badly damaged, I don't know exactly...had to have been bad enough for the damage to exceed the actual cash value of the car.
Beware of CarFax.....their info is only as good as the info they collect. If a loss isn't reported to an insurance company or a police department, then it doesn't show up in the CarFax. I had a friend who was all hot for a 3 Series Bimmer about five years ago....he ran a CarFax and it was clean. I ran it through a few databases and found that it was a Florida flood car.......
Good luck....at least you know what you're looking at now.
