Subject:Re: "Nicest Syncro in the US"

Here's what I don't get. He states " After seeing probably 250 ads, I found
a one-owner, adult-owned, California Syncro that had 60K miles on it." He
then says " I have spent nine months fixing all the things previous owners
overlooked."

So is it one owner, or multiple owners?
