A CARFAX one-owner vehicle is just what the name implies: A used car for sale that has had only one previous owner according to the CARFAX Vehicle History Report™. Below, we’ll discuss the benefits of a one-owner vehicle and how you can get your hands on one at Matthew Motors of Clayton, North Carolina.
Benefits of a One-Owner Vehicle
There are quite a few benefits to buying a one-owner vehicle.
Increased confidence
When a vehicle has had only one previous owner, it means that owner was happy enough with the car to keep it to themselves and should inspire confidence for the next owner.
Less travelled
A one-owner vehicle is more likely to have stayed in one area of the country and less likely to have had long-term exposure to multiple threats posed by different climates.
Still relatively new
The typical new car owner keeps their car for around six years, so a one-owner vehicle is likely to be relatively up to date on modern safety and infotainment features.
Why People Sell Their Cars
To better understand how a vehicle becomes a one-owner car, you must point to the reasons why people choose to sell their cars in the first place.
Because one-owner cars were driven by the same person for an extended period of time, it’s more likely that the owner simply wanted to upgrade to something bigger, downgrade to something with better fuel economy, or the car was a lease and the term of the lease has come to an end.
It’s for those reasons that a one-owner vehicle is generally seen as a safe and valuable purchase and why these vehicles are more sought after than cars that have cycled through multiple drivers.
