Owning a vehicle history report (VHR) on your new Dodge Ram 50 can tell you a lot.
A VHR can tell you whether the odometer reading is accurate or not. If someone has ever deliberately tampered with the odometer or if it was ever damaged, or broken, the VHR can tell you. It can tell you if the odometer has ever been "rolled back"; that is if somebody turned back or "rolled back" the original miles on the odometer so that what reads on the unit less than the true miles. The VHR can also tell you whether the odometer itself is physically incapable of revealing the actual miles; if the Dodge Ram 50 you want to buy has so many miles on it that the odometer cannot record them.
Vehicle history reports also tell you whether the Dodge Ram 50 in question is or has ever been in a "salvage" vehicle, in other words, if it that was damaged in a flood, fire, hail storm or other natural happening but was repaired according to law. The VHR can also tell you if your Dodge Ram 50 has ever been used as a police or fire vehicle, or as a taxi; or if it has ever been totaled -- declared unrepairable by an insurance company. As you can see, many interesting, informative, and useful aspects of a vehicle's past are disclosed by a VHR.
Other important items of information that a VHR provides include if it has ever been a commercial or government vehicle and it can tell you whether the Dodge Ram 50 has ever been declared a "lemon." Many states and provinces have "lemon" laws. These laws declare that if a truck, car, van or SUV repeatedly fails to meet certain standards of quality, the owner may be able to receive compensation. (Tip: Speak with an attorney for a complete and accurate definition of your state's or province's lemon law.)
In addition to a one-time VHR, you can also buy an "unlimited" vehicle history report. This type enables you to consider an unlimited number of vehicles. Within a specified period time (usually 60 days), you can shop for and test drive as many Dodge Ram 50s as you want, and obtain a VHR on each one of them. If you purchase this type of plan, you avoid having to purchase a separate VHR for each Dodge Ram 50 you are considering buying.
If you want to purchase a vehicle history report, you need the Dodge Ram 50's VIN. The Vehicle Identification Number is located on the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. It is a 16-digit number, like 1Z9XW53R8HX567913. You will also find this number on documents pertaining to your Dodge Ram 50. These include your registration materials, financial papers and insurance documents. The driver's side door post (where the door latches when you close it) also has the VIN on it.
