Accident / Damage Indicator
CARFAXreceives information about accidents and other damage in all 50
states, theDistrict of Columbia andCanada. Different
information in a vehicle's history can indicate an accident or damage,
such as: salvage auction, fire damage, police-reported accident,
crash test vehicle, damage disclosure, collision repair facility and
automotive recycler records.
Not all damage is caused by an accident. Some damage could be caused
by events such as vandalism, hail, water or fire. Not every
accident or damage event is reported and not all reported are provided
toCARFAX. Details about the accident or damage event when
reported toCARFAX(e.g. severity, impact location, airbag deployment)
are included on the VehicleHistory Report. CARFAX
recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection fromyour dealer or an
independent mechanic.
According to theNational Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2015 edition,
8%of the 254 million registered vehicles in the
U.S. were involved in an accident in 2013. Over 74%of thesewere
considered minor or moderate.
CARFAXdepends on many sources for its accident / damage data.
CARFAXcan only report what is in our database
on 7/4/17 at 1:42:51 PM(EDT). New datawill result in a change to this report.
GeorgiaDamage Reports:
Provide an estimate of the extent of damage in its accident reports
for the following:
EXTENSIVE: The accident damagewas major and may affect the operation
of the vehicle. This level of
damage often results in a Salvage or Junk title.
FIRE: The accident damage to the vehicle resulted in a fire.
MODERATE: The accident damage is moderate and may affect the operation
of the vehicle and/or its parts.
Examples include brokenwindows, trunk lids, doors, bumpers and tires.
MINOR/ SLIGHT: The accident damage does not affect the operation of
the vehicle. Examples include dented
bumpers, fenders, grills and body panels. This level of accident
should not compromise vehicle safety.
NODAMAGE: The vehiclewas not damaged.
Are required if the estimated damage exceeds $500
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. UseCARFAXAirbag
Tips to make sure this vehicle's airbag systemis functional.
Federal Odometer Act
The FederalOdometer Act requires a seller to disclose the vehicle's
mileage on the titlewhen ownership is transferred. Congress
enacted this Act to prohibit odometer tampering and to protect
consumers frommileage fraud. Under this act, sellers must disclose any
issues with the vehicle's odometer. These disclosures translate into
the Exceed Mechanical Limits andNot Actual Mileage titles.
First Owner When the first owner(s) obtains a title fromaDepartment of
Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to informowners 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 aDepartment of Motor Vehicles.
Not Actual Mileage Title When the seller certifies, under the
FederalOdometer Act, that the odometer reading does not reflect the
vehicle's actual mileage. This may occur because the odometer was
tamperedwith, broken, or replaced.
Ownership History
CARFAXdefines 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,
CARFAXproprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle
history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured
after 1991 and titled solely in theUSincluding PuertoRico. 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 SouthDakota. Please consider this as you
review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
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 roadworthy 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, OKandOR.
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 aCARFAXreport does not necessarily indicate a change in
ownership. InCanada, 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
claimexceeds 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 aDMV-reported
branded title. This may occur when an insurance company's
definition of a total loss is different than the stateDMV's definition
for a branded title or when the owner of the vehicle is a self-insured
company, like a fleet or rental company.

Re: From This Vin Report, Should I Buy This Engine? by Inception(m): 12:20pm On Jul 05, 2017
All i need to see is the front of the car..( right front impact will give me serious worry for the engine as the engine may be certainly affected which may be evident as cracks on the engine body #justsaying...)
It seems the car was also involved in a rollover accident though...
That being said, for me, i will pass.
Re: From This Vin Report, Should I Buy This Engine? by tutuwater(m): 3:12pm On Jul 05, 2017
1.There is probably a right front impact. The extent of the right front impact should determine the engine condition.
2. Too many owners for me. About 4 owners. Kilode.

Although the engine could still be in very good condition considering that it was used for personal use by the 4 owners. Only once was the engine idling or timing checked, oil was changed regularly and the pics appear to be a roll over accident with less impact to the engine.

I will advise you buy it.
Reasons.
1. This very detailed VIN report, up till the crash shows a vehicle meticulously maintained by her previous owners. Giving the very detailed service history, and with car going for recall at several points of her ownership, the integrity of engine parts should not be an issue. This is a well used and maintained engine having the advantage of select parts installed brand new. Even if the engine is not installed whole, breaking it for parts will be profitable. Besides from the pic of the bonnet, there isn't structural damage to the engine at surface level.

2. Coming from a car written as total loss,engine + transmission will definitely come cheap. If not suitable for whole installation, can be dismantled and sold for parts.
