Car FAX?

I have seen several references to forum members with some 'spare' CarFAX look-up's available.

Does someone have the resources to look up this VIN number:

jf1bj6736rh900866 .

It's for a '94 Subaru Turbo Sport Wagon I'm looking at as a 'utility' hauler. The last Subaru I had before I bought my SVX was a '91 Legacy Turbo Sport Sedan, so I know these can be a fun driving vehicle. It was listed on the eBay auction as having a 'rebuilt' title, but the dealer claims he cannot find any evidence of bodywork or frame damage. He suspects it might be from a 'stolen' circumstance. I need to check to see, too if it might be a 'flood' victim or other(?).

Let me know if anyone can help. I appreciate any efforts.

-Mark

Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:

* First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
* New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.
* Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.
* Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.
