This happened with me with one of my CarFax reports. 3 owners listed, but it was a lease (1st owner) that was bought out by the lessee (2nd owner), then eventually traded in to the dealer (3rd owner). I became the 4th owner according to CarFax, but I see myself as the second owner.
With the Auto West Type-R, I'm guessing the car started its life as a lease, sold to OpenRoad Honda in September 2020 who wholesaled it to Coquitlam Chrysler in November 2020, then sold to a customer in December 2020. The last owner drove it until this February when it was sold to Auto West.
