That Carfax only shows pretty much just registrations, other than the possible storm damage from "Katrina". It might have been flooded. I would check everything underneith the car for major rust, it might have sat in the flood. Also if the carpet looks new then the flood might have gotten in the car, if so, you should deffinately pass on that one. Personally, for that price and possible storm damage I wouldn't even think about the car anymore.
I never knew Carfax reported something like that, I thought it just reported the facts. Plus it doesn't show any repairs, just emissions.
