CARFAX® One-Owner Vehicles

When you're looking for a quality pre-owned vehicle, you'd probably love to find one that's had just a single owner. Your own intution tells that a one-owner model is more likely to be a vehicle you can count for the future. What if you could find dozens of one-owner vehicles, all certified to be one-owner models by the experts at CARFAX®, in one convenient location? That's what we have available at Szott M-59 Toyota in Waterford, MI. 

When CARFAX® says it's a One-Owner model, you can count on it

The specialists at CARFAX® have unparalleled access to state vehicle registration records here in Michigan and all over the country, so they have the ability to certify that a vehicle has had just one owner. With a CARFAX® One-Owner model, you don't have to just take somebody's word for it that this car wasn't passed around from one owner to the next. CARFAX® certification gives Detroit buyers the assurance that the car, truck, SUV or minivan you're considering had just a single owner. 

When a car is a one-owner model, it's more likely to have had a good past

The more owners a vehicle has had, the more likely it is to end up being owned by someone who didn't take great care of it. But when a car had just a single owner, that's the pedson who drove it home from the dealership for the first time. New-car owners can often be very obsessive about their vehicles, taking meticulous care of them, keeping them clean and making sure the factory-recommended maintenance gets done at the right intervals. When that owner finally sells the car, chances are it's a very good vehicle to buy. 

One-owner cars have usually gotten more love 

When a car has been through multiple owners, it might mean the car had some mechanical issues and nobody fixed the problem. Instead, each successive owner might have sold it, kicking the can down the road and passing the problems along to someone else. If that keeps happening, the car might need significant repairs by the time you buy it. But a car with just a single owner is more likely to have been cared for properly and it was probably reliable enough that the first owner wanted to keep it.

One-owner cars are more likely to have a good maintenance history

While it's possible that a car with multiple owners got  great maintenance from each person who owned it, the odds aren't as good. With a CARFAX® One Owner model, the chances increase that the owner made sure it got regular, factory-recommended oil changes and other maintenance, and that can help a vehicle last longer. That's why we encourage our valued customers in Bloomfield and Rochester MI to give these one-owner vehicles a serious look.   

A CARFAX® Vehicle History Report gives buyers a look at how the car was serviced

With our free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, you get a look at each maintenance service that was reported to CARFAX for that car, truck, SUV or minivan. While the report usually won't show all the service and repairs that were done, it gives you helpful insight into how the vehicle was cared for. If the maintenance history looks solid and it's earned CARFAX® One-Owner certification, that's a vehicle well worth considering. 

For outstanding value, look for a CARFAX® One-Owner model

We believe CARFAX® One-Owner models are some of the best deals you can find. For an even higher level of value, it makes sense to look at Toyota one-owner models.
