CARFAX® has a window into a car's history that others don't have

The automotive specialists at CARFAX® provide special consumer protections and raise the level of transparency for buyers all over America, including local communities like Sylvania and Perrysburg. For that reason, the CARFAX® organization has unprecedented access to state vehicle registration records so they can determine whether a used car, truck or SUV is truly a one-owner model.

A CARFAX® one-owner certification is your guarantee that the car you're looking at didn't make an endless journey from one vehicle owner to another. With CARFAX® certification, you can be assured that the car you're considering has had just a single owner and will give you access to the kinds of advantages that can come with that designation.

A car that's had just one owner was typically worth keeping

No one can guarantee the future of any new or used vehicle, but a CARFAX® one-owner certification tells you things that can help you sleep better. When a vehicle has had just one owner, the buyer often discovered he made a great purchase and the vehicle was probably reliable enough to hang onto. Those are the kinds of cars, trucks and SUVs that are more likely to get consistent, factory-recommended maintenance.

By contrast, a car that's had multiple owners may have developed some mechanical problems and the long trail of owners suggests that nobody wanted to fix those issues. In many cases, each owner decided to get rid of the car and pass the problems on to someone else. But a CARFAX® one-owner certification suggests that the owner had a reason to stick with that vehicle because it probably ran well and didn't cost a lot to maintain.

A one-owner model is more likely to have had consistent maintenance

When a car has several past owners, it's more likely to have had an owner who didn't take great care of the vehicle. But in our experience, cars that had just a single owner around communities like Maumee and Oregon OH are typically driven by someone who fell in love with that vehicle and showed pride of ownership. One-owner cars have often been driven by people who provided regular maintenance.

CARFAX® can even give you a look at a vehicle's maintenance history.

When you shop for one of our CARFAX® one-owner models, you can get a great deal of information about that vehicle's past history. For example, you can get an estimate of the number of miles the car was driven each year, the estimated length of ownership and certification that the vehicle isn't in a salvage title status. You can also get a look at the service history records that were reported to CARFAX®.
