Carfax one owner

n

If you’ve ever shopped for used cars for sale in Brookings, you’ve likely encountered the phrase “Carfax One Owner.” 

n

You can imagine that this phrase indicates that a vehicle has only had one previous owner, but what else does this certification mean? We go over the benefits of buying a Carfax One Owner vehicle, and share important legal disclosure information about these types of vehicles that South Dakota drivers need to know! 

n

What is Carfax One Owner? 

n

Simply put, vehicles that are Carfax One Owner certified have only had one previous owner. This information can be found in the vehicle’s Carfax history report which lists information such as:

n

    n

  • n

    Title

    n

  • n

  • n

    Mileage

    n

  • n

  • n

    Chain of ownership

Benefits of Buying CarFax One Owner Cars for Sale Brookings

Carfax one owner vehicles

Purchasing a vehicle that has only had one previous owner has quite a few benefits compared to vehicles with multiple previous owners:

n

    n

  • Typically lower mileage
  • n

  • More complete maintenance records
  • n

  • Fewer people have driven it so less interior and exterior wear and tear
  • n

  • Better idea of accident history
  • n

n

While purchasing a used car for sale in Brookings that has had multiple owners may be cheaper, you run the risk of paying for it in the long run by not knowing the complete history of the vehicle.

South Dakota Damage Disclosure and Carfax Reports

n

When a vehicle is in an accident, this information is reported and reflected on its Carfax history report. At Einspahr, we provide these reports for all of our used inventory so you have the complete picture when making your vehicle purchase. 

n

Having access to a vehicle’s Carfax history report is important because some states (including South Dakota) do NOT have a damage disclosure law requiring any vehicle damage be reported when transferring ownership of a vehicle. 

n

If one of our Carfax one owner vehicles has been in an accident, we’ll lay it out completely in the vehicle report. This isn’t necessarily the case when you choose to purchase from the seller directly.
