Used Cars and the Importance of Vehicle History Reports
|
|
|
So you’re looking for a “new” used car. You have weighed the pros and cons of buying
brand new versus buying used. And now,
the daunting task of wading through all the myriad vehicles available looms
before you. Of course, you want a car
that runs well, and will be reliable.
But how do you know whether to surrender your confidence to the smiling
salesman that says “trust me”? Once you
have found a car that appeals to you in looks, and price, it is strongly
suggested that you request a vehicle
history report.
Obtaining a vehicle history report is one important step in helping to
prevent a buyer from purchasing a used car that could potentially
become a heart-wrenching experience of endless, expensive repairs after the
fact. The information which a vehicle
history report provides a used car shopper, if known, includes the
following in great detail:
- Rebuilt/reconstructed
- Airbag deployment
- Recall check
- Used as a crash test
vehicle
- Mileage accuracy
- Stolen
- Odometer rollback and
mileage consistency checks
- Lemon check
- Classified a total loss
or "write off"
- Number of owners and
date/location of ownership
- Accidents with
descriptions
- Leased vehicle
- Used as a rental or
fleet vehicle
- Damage from flood, hail,
or fire
- Used as a taxi or police
car
- Warranty check
- Salvaged, junked, or
dismantled.
Routine maintenance and repair information is not included in
the report. Neither is data and
information on vehicles prior to 1981 included.
A quick and easy way to obtain a vehicle history report on
a specific used
car is to do an online search for vehicle
history report. The search will render a list of companies from which to choose. Look for the ones that do a thorough search on a vehicle in both Canada
and the United States. Some companies will offer a price for one vehicle report or a slightly
increased price for multiple reports. (Remember, you will need the VIN number of each car being researched). The expense is worth
it. A report can be done over the
internet from the comfort of your own home.
And you will save hours of time by quickly eliminating the lemons.
