Vehicle history reports. They are great things to have for many reasons.
First of all, a vehicle history report (VHR) can provide telling information about the Ford Tempo's prior utilization, including whether the car has ever seen commercial or government use. The report can also tell you if the Ford Tempo was ever been determined to be a "lemon." Many states and provinces have "lemon" laws, which allow vehicle owners to receive compensation if a truck car, van or SUV repeatedly fails to attain certain quality standards. (Hint: Consult an attorney for a complete, current, and accurate definition of your province's or state's lemon law.)
A VHR can tell you whether the Ford Tempo you are thinking of purchasing has a correct odometer reading. If someone has deliberately changed the odometer to make it appear as if the Tempo has fewer miles on it, or if the odometer has ever been damaged or broken, the VHR can inform you of this fact. A VHR can also tell you whether the odometer is not physically capable of recording the actual miles on the Tempo you want to buy, for example, if the Tempo has so many miles on it that the odometer cannot accurately record them.
A VHR can tell you whether or not the Ford Tempo you want to buy is now, or ever has been, a "salvage" vehicle. A salvage vehicle is one that may have been damaged in a flood, fire, hail storm, tornado, or wind storm, or if it was struck by lightening or damaged by any other natural occurrence but was afterwards repaired according to law. The VHR can tell you also if your Ford Tempo has ever been used as a fire or police vehicle, as a taxi, or if it has ever been "totaled." If has been totaled (or "totaled out") an insurance company determined that the Ford Tempo was not repairable.
As you can see, a vehicle history report can tell you many enlightening, informative, and useful facts about a vehicle's history.
Most people buy a vehicle history report only for the Ford Tempo they are seriously considering purchasing. But you can also purchase what is known as an "unlimited" vehicle history report. This type of VHR allows you to shop for as many vehicles as you want. Within a specific number of days, normally 60, you can shop for, inspect, and test drive as many Ford Tempos as you want, and receive a report on each of them. With an unlimited VHR, you avoid having to purchase a separate VHR for each of the Ford Tempos you are considering purchasing. An unlimited VHR, although more expensive to purchase, can save you money in the long run.
If you decide to buy either an unlimited or a one-time vehicle history report, you will need the Ford Tempo's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can find this number on the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. View it through the windshield. It is a 16-digit number, like 1K7WY43T9AZ467723. You will also find this number on the Ford Tempo's paper work, including the vehicle registration, financial papers, and insurance information. You can also find the VIN on the driver's side door post, where the door latches when you close it.
