The guy I bought it from had bought it from his uncle three years
earlier. Same last name, different first. The owner's manual had the
name of a third person written in it, and the kid (a college student
moving back out West - I got a good deal because it was a risky sale but
the car was rust-free and under book, with a new clutch and
transmission) confirmed that his uncle had bought it slightly used. So
Carfax had no excuse for calling it a "One Owner!" car.
