Thanks guys. I definitely got a good deal on it as long as I don't find any major skeletons in the closet. And yea, he didn't tell me about the lemon status either (until I drove 90 miles to come see it.) That's why I did an extra thorough job researching the carfax details.
I do have one other gripe about the car - at some point a previous owner must have really wailed something with the front right, because the rim shows signs of heating where it was straightened, and the front right strut was replaced at 45k. (and no, not the front left at the same time.) Now that I have 70k on the car, the age difference of the struts is becoming noticeable. I think it's probably an opportune time to do all 4 corners with some aftermarket struts, springs, Whiteline sway bars and front strut tower brace.
