What Does CARFAX Tell You About a Used Car?

With a CARFAX™ Vehicle History Report, you can get a complete snapshot of the story behind your next new-to-you ride. Your report on any car in our lot at Salem Pre-Owned includes everything from registration and mileage to its service history, how it was driven, and more. There’s lots of data included, so don’t forget to take advantage of all of it — check all of these sections to be fully informed.

With CARFAX, You Get All the Details

Your CARFAX report includes the vehicle registration and title information, so you can check to see if a pre-owned car in Salem was reported as junked or salvaged at any point. In addition to essential information like odometer readings, this report also includes any reported thefts and recovery. Finally, the report will alert you if the model has ever been considered a “lemon” by any state regulatory agency.

Driving Use and Accidents

If there are any signs the car has had a major accident, like airbag deployment, they’ll show up on the CARFAX Vehicle History Report. No two driven miles affect a car the same way, so read the section covering the vehicle’s previous use — whether it was driven as a rental car, a taxi, or a personal car.

You can also check how many previous owners the car has had. Having multiple owners with different driving needs can add a lot of wear and tear, so for some of the most exciting models on our lot, explore our CARFAX One Owner selection.

Service History

It can be hard to ensure that a pre-owned car has had all its scheduled maintenance, especially if the previous owner didn’t keep careful records. Your CARFAX Vehicle History Report includes its complete service and repair history, so you can ensure it’ll stay on the road for years to come. You can also check up on any recalls that have been announced for the model.
