These include cars, trucks and SUVs that are certified by the experts at CARFAX to be true "one owner" vehicles, so you can feel better about your used car purchase.
CARFAX knows how to verify the vehicle's ownership
The people at CARFAX use their access to state vehicle registration records to determine whether a vehicle has truly had just one owner. When you see that CARFAX® One Owner certification, you can be sure that vehicle hasn't had multiple owners - and the problems that can sometimes go with it. When a car is a true "one-owner," there are a number of benefits for you as a used car buyer.
A car with just one owner is more likely to have a good maintenance history
Let's consider what often happens when someone buys a brand-new car. Typically, the new owner takes great care of that car, keeping it clean and well-maintained. That leads to a virtuous cycle in which good care and maintenance leads to reliable performance which motivates that owner to keep the car for a longer time. Cars that have just one owner often have that kind of history and that's obviously a very good used car to buy.
It's why so many people look for one-owner vehicles when they shop for a used car. They know that, when a car had just one owner, it probably received the regular maintenance that helps cars last longer. As a result, the owner is more likely to keep the car and continue taking good care of it. The fact that a car was reliable enough to stay with just one owner is usually a good sign for car buyers in Concord, Pittsburg CA or anywhere else.
A car with many owners might have trouble in its past
Let's face it: The more often a car changes hands, the more the odds increase that someone in that chain of owners is going to neglect to do the regular maintenance it needs. With multiple owners, the chances increase that someone will forget to do the regular, factory-recommended oil changes. Someone is going to say, "Hey, I'm not going to ask somebody to check the brakes or the tires or the power steering fluid. I'm too busy."
When one or more previous owners fails to get the service a car needs, mechanical problems inevitably start cropping up. Anyone who doesn't do basic maintenance is unlikely to take care of repairs, so that owner will soon sell the car - and its problems - to someone else. That pattern might be repeated with the next owner as well. Ultimately, the next "someone else" might be you.
CARFAX can give you insight into a used car's history
With a CARFAX One Owner vehicle, you not only get the very reassuring one-owner certification, you can also see the CARFAX Vehicle History Report. We encourage you to ask us for this report and look it over carefully. While it probably won't show every service that was done, it should give you an idea of how the car was treated and whether it received regular maintenance. That can be another very positive sign in a used car's favor.
