Default Usually, you can only total a car once.
Heh...4 is completely plausible. Carfax will turn up things like when a car has been titled, and when it has been registered. If an insurance co. has paid out to repair the car, etc. So the number 4 is meaningless.

I would also contact your dealer. They can run down the cars service history, and see if anything unusual has been done to it (under warranty).

I'm not sure where you're going with all this though. You already bought the car....
