Default Could someone check this VIN for me?

I am interested in this 4Runner, but the dealer said it is a salvage. Could someone with CarFax check it out for me?

Thanks in advance!!!

Comment Definitions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fleet Vehicle Vehicle registered or sold to a company that manages vehicle fleets.
Lease Vehicle registered but not owned by the driver.
Salvage/Junk Title States issue salvage titles when an insurance company takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This generally occurs after a vehicle has been declared a total loss. States issue junk titles to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.
