Above $45,000

---

The luxury SUV and crossover range starts from $45,000. The interior space and facilities also are larger in this range. The Audi Q5 and the Toyota Sequoia are the two most popular cars in this segment. The Audi Q5 is known as the no-nonsense car for its high performance and outstanding performance and high-tech in electronics inside the cabin.

The Toyota Sequoia has a high perch, great towing, and extreme spacious interior and offers all that which makes for a very pleasant drive. The gas mileage of The Sequoia is however very poor.

The best SUVs in the market come in $45,000 and above range. You will get all possible luxury and features in this range. BMW’s X5 is the market leader in luxury SUVs. The only bone of discontent against the X5 is its little space in the third row seating.

In terms of interior space, The Toyota Land Cruiser is the best option for you. Off-road, it is one of the most competent cars, and on-road too it has the most advanced features.

Automotive Title Brands

---

What is a Title Brand?
Title brands indicate whether a used vehicle has sustained damage or might be potentially unsafe to drive. If a vehicle's title has been "branded," it is an official designation made by a state agency and should appear on the vehicle's title paperwork. Neither individuals nor private companies can brand titles.
While title brands vary by state, some of the most common ones include:
Salvage
Junk
Totaled
Lemon
Flood
Reconstructed
Not only do different states have their own specific set of title brands, but may have a slightly different definition in each state. If you have questions about title brands used in your state, we recommend contacting your state's department of motor vehicles.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Title Washing

---

Because title brand definitions vary by state, sometimes a title brand will not transfer to the title in the new state, which means the title becomes "clean." Unscrupulous sellers can increase the sale price of cars by "cleaning" or "washing" the titles by registering them in states where the title brands do not transfer.
AutoCheck can help protect you from such hidden title brands. AutoCheck receives title brand, registration and other important information over the life of the vehicle, regardless of where the vehicle is registered.
Even if a vehicle moves to another state that doesn't recognize certain brands, the AutoCheck vehicle history will still reflect all previously reported title brands

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Salvage Title Brand

---

A salvage title is often issued by states when a vehicle is damaged and the cost to repair is significant (usually if it is over a certain percentage of fair market value). One way a vehicle may end up with a salvage title is when an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss.
If the salvage vehicle is rebuilt, the "Salvage" title brand might be changed to a "Rebuilt Salvage." Usually such a change requires an inspection.
A problem often occurs when a salvaged and rebuilt vehicle is sold in another state. Because title brand definitions vary by state, sometimes a title brand will not transfer to the title in the new state, which means the title becomes "clean".
To protect yourself from hidden title brands, even if a vehicle moves to another state, purchase an AutoCheck vehicle history report. Even if a vehicle moves to another state that doesn't recognize certain brands, the AutoCheck vehicle history will still reflect all previously reported title brands.

Odometer Rollback Title Brand

---

Detecting odometer rollback is very difficult if you are not a certified mechanic, mostly because anyone who commits the fraudulent act of rolling back an odometer to conceal actual mileage is aware of how to hide it.
Taking the vehicle to a mechanic for an inspection is a very good way to discover whether a vehicle's odometer has been rolled back. A good mechanic will know what signs to look for and can point them out over the course of the inspection.
Another step you can take is purchasing an AutoCheck vehicle history report. An AutoCheck vehicle history report will notify you if the vehicle has been reported as having a rolled-back odometer.
For more information on odometer rollback, please visit the Office of Odometer Fraud Investigations (a division of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

5 Tips to Get a Fair Deal on a Used Car
Buying a new used car is exciting, but it can be stressful – especially if you don’t exactly know how the market works or the steps involved.

---

Are you looking for the best price but are not sure what action to take to ensure you don’t pay more for your used car than you should? Stop guessing! Here are some tips that can guide you to the used car of your dreams at the right price.

1. Know your credit picture
Before you start looking at cars, you should know your credit score. If you have any issues or outstanding balances, you can work to clear those up. A better credit score means a few things: you will qualify for more incentives, the down payment is usually less, while the loans available to you may be higher. It would also be smart to get pre-approved for your used car loan so that you are aware of what you are able to afford and the interest rate for which you qualify. For more information about your credit score please visit: http://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/category/credit-advice/report-advice.


http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/5-tips-to-get-a-fair-deal-on-a-used-car

2. Now you can start the used car search!
Make a list of features that you would like your used car to include, and have a few color preferences in mind. Try not to get your heart set on specifics; you may have to adjust a few preferences because there is a possibility that the exact used car with all of your handpicked wants is not out there right now. Look online at dealerships who have a car you are interested in, and whom are located in the area you are willing to travel to. Make sure to look online at sites like: www.kbb.com, , www.cargurus.com, www.cars.com, and more to find an aggregate of used cars in your area!

AutoCheck®, which is a product of Experian, can make this process easier. An AutoCheck vehicle history report provides a clean-cut number that acts as a grade for your desired used car and AutoCheck includes a detailed outline of the car’s past, as well.
