Here at Salem Pre-Owned, we know that vehicle history reports provide essential insights to help you make confident decisions when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. These reports reveal crucial details about a car's past that could impact its value and reliability. So, what does CARFAX tell you? Let’s explore together.

Comprehensive Vehicle History Information

CARFAX reports compile information from thousands of sources to create a complete picture of a vehicle's history. They show accident records, including the location and severity of damage, previous ownership details, and service maintenance records. Reports also verify odometer readings, reveal title information (including salvage or junked titles), and alert you to open manufacturer recalls that require attention.

Limitations of Vehicle History Reports

While CARFAX reports are valuable tools, they do have limitations. Not all accidents or maintenance visits are reported, especially if repairs were done at independent shops or by previous owners themselves. That's why at our pre-owned car dealership in Salem, OH, we complement these reports with our rigorous 160-point safety and mechanical inspection on every vehicle.

Understanding Ownership History

Reviewing ownership history on a CARFAX report can reveal important patterns. Multiple owners in a short period might indicate potential issues, while a single long-term owner often suggests proper care and maintenance. The report also indicates whether the vehicle was used personally, commercially, or as a rental - information that helps you assess its condition accurately.
