IMPORTANT! The 2 records on this 2004 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX will confirm a clean history or uncover potential problems. 
Find out by ordering the complete CARFAX Vehicle History Report.

That's from Carfax . I assume by this post you know of Carfax, but I thought I'd throw this out just in case. Hopefully someone on the board has a subscription (??) or whatnot so they can fully check this out for you. Best of luck with the WRX.

Edit ---> Or just click Nomad's link to see it in real time. :P

I was looking for someone with a subscription....thanks for the quick help though.
I know it was in an acid rain storm while at a factory...but I am wondering why there's 2 records.

I'll warn you, you'll never see anything bad on a Carfax report. I've seen a vehicle that was hit by a truck that floated into it during a flood come up as clean title three years later. It's a tool that dealers use to put your mind at ease.

That's not completely true. I had a '92 Pontiac that came back with an accident on it, and my '97 Olds' title comes back with a salvage or "branded" title.

MSD, maybe in your experience, they haven't all come up with the complete history, but a lot of us have turned away from cars because they didn't come up clean. Its definately not just a marketting scam.

Just because it shows clean doesn't necessarily mean that its clean, but if it shows up with problems, you know something really is wrong with it. I think its worth checking with every perspective car. Worst case : it shows nothing wrong when something is, and your no worse off than you were if it you never checked it in the first place. Best case : you walk away from a POS instead of getting stuck with it.

Proving carfax is useless...I was told by the dealer that this car was in an acid rain storm, and an insurance writeoff....
I paid the money (and requested a refund), here's my report summary:
