Vehicle History Reports
Once you decide on the type of vehicle that you want to purchase potentially, it is important to consider the vehicle history reports for each vehicle. These reports will tell you facts about the vehicle, such as how many people owned it before you and if the title is clean. You will also be able to see if the vehicle was in an accident or was issued a salvage title.
A vehicle history report will also let you know how many miles are on the vehicle. This information is necessary for financing, insurance, and the value of the vehicle. You should also pay attention to this number if you have a personal preference. Sometimes the mileage has an effect on how much maintenance you have to put into the vehicle!
You should also see service records for the vehicle you are considering purchasing. Some reports will only show maintenance that was done because of a collision, while others will show major maintenance milestones.
