~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Accident - CARFAX receives information on accidents in most states when
an official police report is filed. The level of detail in the accident
record varies by state depending on the state's accident report
requirements. CARFAX recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection from your
dealer or an independent mechanic for any car involved in an accident.

First Owner - A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of
ownership. When a title is issued to the first owner of a new vehicle, CARFAX
labels the title record with "First Owner".

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. CARFAX
identifies this event and labels the title record as "New Owner Reported".

Private Use - Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.
