Need help deciphering this carfax...

[WannaBe4Now]

Attempting to buy my first NSX and found this car is at a local dealer non-Acura dealer in a, er, not real great neighborhood. It's listed at $32900 for a 95 with 107K miles.

Here's my questions on the CarFax I ran:
1. Is a lien a bad thing or is that just how a standard loan is reported?

2. The mileage looks fishy to me as far as how it went 12K-12K-57Miles-39K-etc.

3. Everything else is clean.

Does this seem too good to be true to anyone else?

Could really use your help. You guys are great.

Thanks,
Dave

Miles look ok. Seems someone just started driving it a lot recently. A lien is fine. A lien means someone financed the vehicle with a bank/credit union.

While I think the NSX is a great reliable car, your miles on this one are high, so make sure to have it inspected well.

Just make sure there are no open leins on it now. If there are you may not be able to sell it untill it is paid off.
