When you’re browsing the Nissan inventory page on our website or on our physical lot here at Hall Nissan Virginia Beach, you’re likely to come across a subset of used Nissan cars known as CarFax One-Owner used cars. What exactly are these vehicles, and why are they classified in this category?
The short answer is that they represent some of the highest-quality vehicles on our lot, as they were only owned by one previous driver. Here are the benefits to buying CarFax used cars.
More Likely to Have Complete Maintenance Records
The primary advantage of a CarFax One-Owner used Nissan car is that it has a clearer maintenance history. Different drivers have different approaches to car maintenance, and compared to a used car with three or four previous owners, one with only one owner is much more likely to have kept their maintenance history. Also, when you have more previous owners, there is a greater likelihood that one of them neglected critical maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations.
Owners May Not Have the Full Story
Another advantage of buying a one-owner car is that some sellers will sell or trade in their cars once problems arise. If they sell their problem-filled vehicle to somebody else without being honest about it, those problems can grow worse, leading to large concerns – and high repair bills – down the line.
Fewer People Have Driven It
The final advantage of buying a one-owner vehicle is psychological. It can be reassuring to know that fewer people have been behind the wheel of your car, and thus fewer people can potentially damage it.
