It was a leased vehicle for two years, and then a lien showed up in 2002. Something is very fishy. AutoCheck shows the following:

Actually, doesn't look too bad.

The dates with mileage from CARFAX match up with the Emissions dates here (from prev. post):

06/23/2000 10
05/26/2001 203
06/04/2002 546
04/29/2003 829

Additionally, it looks like it could have been a 2 year lease, followed by the owner buying it with a loan. Notice that the Title Number does not change from 2000 to 2002. To me, this would suggest only a change in the title, not a new title.
