Default CarFax for a '98 Z28 'Vert? :)

A friend of mine found a nice deal on a '98 Z28 ragtop at a dealership about 6 hours away from us. He's supposed to hear tomorrow what type of terms he can get on the loan.

It's a '98 Z28 with 68K miles, supposed to be bone stock. They're only asking $9,900 for it? That's a pretty low price compared to what LS1's generally go for around here. I paid a bit more than that for mine earlier this year.

....is the VIN, I'm curious as to if there is something wrong with the car. I did the free search on CarFax and it came back with 13 records in the database. I'm probably going to drive him up there later this week if he gets approval on terms he wants. I'll try to check it out for any obvious problems it may have
