Saturn Now Requires CARFAX

Saturn has announced that checking a CARFAX Vehicle History Report is required before a Saturn dealer can "certify" a used vehicle.

Certified pre-owned programs (CPO) are becoming an industry norm as manufacturers with late model inventory seek to remove the stigma of a used vehicle and bolster prices. Saturn, like pricier European models, is known for reliability and durability, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a specific vehicle is safe or roadworthy.

Using a CARFAX report along with a mechanic's inspection remains the company's mantra, and the advice is sound. Meanwhile, part of the work will already be done for Saturn buyers now that dealers are required to check the CARFAX report before selling the vehicle as "certified".

The majority of certified used vehicles sold in the United States must now be checked through CARFAX.
