Question Whoa

Well, it only goes back to 1993, so I don't know what owner I am, but when I checked it before I think there had been four owners or something. Anyway, the funny thing is that the thing reports that it is a 1.3 Rotory Turbo FI. The aspiration is marked as turbo. One wonders if this was an imported from Japan version in it's earlier life. The engine was replaced last fall, and I wonder if I got the shaft in buying the car from a guy who couldn't afford to put a turbo engine back in it.
I wonder.......

Much appreciated. Reassuring to find out what had happened to my car beforehand.
or a nightmare come true. driving on salted roads till 96. then auctioned over to the west coast where it sat for 2 years, got fresh paint, sold to a guy for a year, then to me. runs fine, passes smog, but is rusted in places I didn't even know were metal (and all in places you can't see without moderate inspection. I didn't look at it very well when I bought it, but it was my first car. I was way too excited to have dragged the family to san fransisco, stayed at the relatives, and not get the car. the rust doesn't hurt anything the way it is, and isn't getting worse, but it will where I'm going to college...

Thanks Thomas

The counter indicates 451 checks so far!

Hey guys, how'd you determine that your the n'th owner? I didn't see anywhere that listed the number of previous owners...

Also, doesn't this report system only show information logged to it, if the car was in a fender bender (nothing major) it wouldn't show unless reported, right?

Thomas, if you get sent the $5000 garantee, if you don't mind, just forward it to me
