This CARFAX Vehicle History Report is based only on information
supplied to CARFAX and available as of 5/11/20 at 2:43:07 AM (CDT).
Other information about this vehicle, including problems, may not have
been reported to CARFAX. Use this report as one important tool, along
with a vehicle inspection and test drive, to make a better decision
about your next used car.
Total Loss An
insurance or fleet company declares a vehicle a total loss when a claim
exceeds approximately 75% of its pre-damage value or if the vehicle is
stolen and not recovered. This damage threshold varies by company. These
companies typically take possession and obtain the title. Not all total
loss vehicles result in a DMV-reported branded title, like a Salvage or
Junk title. See the glossary for more information.
Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title A
Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been
repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely
damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used
during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is
required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.
Flood Damage Title States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a flood or has received extensive water damage.
Junk Title A
Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost
of repairing the vehicle exceeds approximately 75% of its pre-damage
value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states
use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot
be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.
Airbag Deployment Occurs
when the driver, passenger or side airbag has been used or deployed
during a crash or other incident. If an airbag has been deployed, it
must be replaced by a qualified technician. Have this car inspected by a
mechanic prior to purchase.
Manufacturer Recall Automobile
manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that
have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also suggest
improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular
vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost to you.
Odometer Check CARFAX analyzes mileage data to help identify potential:
Rollbacks - odometer tampering to conceal a car's true mileage (i.e. Fraud or illegal activity)
Rollovers - after reaching the maximum reading, the odometer restarts from zero (i.e. Mechanical or equipment limitation)
Inconsistencies - conflicting mileage data means CARFAX cannot determine if it's a potential rollback (i.e. Potential human error)
Salvage Title A
Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the
cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds approximately 75% of its
pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states
treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to
indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again
in that state. The following eleven States also use Salvage titles to
identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and
OR.
Structural Damage All levels of accidents, from minor to severe, can cause structural damage to a vehicle (i.e., damage to the frame or unibody).
Airbag Deployment Occurs
when the driver, passenger or side airbag has been used or deployed
during a crash or other incident. If an airbag has been deployed, it
must be replaced by a qualified technician. Have this car inspected by a
mechanic prior to purchase.
Loss Due To Fire Title The
vehicle sustained major damage due to fire. In most states, fire damage
titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe
operation exceeds its fair market value.
Not Actual Mileage Title When
the seller certifies, under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer
reading does not reflect the vehicle's actual mileage. This may occur
because the odometer was tampered with, broken, or replaced.

Exceeds Mechanical Limits Title A
vehicle with a 5-digit odometer cannot accurately track mileage after

of a seller certifying under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer

vary by manufacturer and typically last for a certain amount of time
and/or a set number of miles.

inspected by a mechanic prior to purchase. Use CARFAX Airbag Tips to make sure this vehicle's airbag system is functional.
Automotive Recycler
Vehicles sold at an automotive recycler are often totaled by insurance
companies. The majority of these vehicles are 1) rebuilt and sold as a
complete vehicle, 2) dismantled and sold for parts, or 3) scrapped and
sold as metal. On occasion, they also handle vehicles with no specific
damage history.
First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Junk Title
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost
of repairing the vehicle exceeds approximately 75% of its pre-damage
value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states
use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot
be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.
Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car
defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also
suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a
particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost
to you.
New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and
uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in
ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary
technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated
ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1991 and titled
solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take
ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states:
Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South
Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated
ownership history.
Scrapped
Vehicles that have been dismantled and/or crushed and should not return to the road.
Title Issued
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of
ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration
record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in
ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used as proof
of ownership.
Total Loss Vehicle
An insurance or fleet company declares a vehicle a total loss when a
claim exceeds approximately 75% of its pre-damage value or if the
vehicle is stolen and not recovered. This damage threshold varies by
company. These companies typically take possession and obtain the title.
Not all total loss vehicles result in a DMV-reported branded title.
This may occur when an insurance company's definition of a total loss is
different than the state DMV's definition for a branded title or when
the owner of the vehicle is a self-insured company, like a fleet or
rental company.
