Finding Used Cars in Logan, Utah
Logan is a very attractive, small
city situated in the verdant Cache Valley, and is
part of Cache County, Utah. It is located in the
upper part of the state, north of Ogden on the Logan
River. Logan is the principal city of the Logan,
UT-ID Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes
Cache County in Utah and Franklin County in Idaho.
The city was founded in 1859 by Mormon settlers and
is the location of the Logan Utah Temple which was
dedicated in 1884. Logan boasts a handsome downtown
area and pretty tree lined residential
neighborhoods. According to the United States Census
Bureau, the city has a total area of 17.0 square
miles. As of the 2000 census, the city population
was 42,670. The Logan metropolitan area contains
109,666 residents. In 2005 and 2007, Morgan Quitno
declared the Logan metropolitan area the safest in
the United States. It is home to the main campus of
Utah State University, founded in 1888, and its many
athletic, cultural and educational programs. Logan
is known as a ‘college town’. It is also a major
producer of cheese and other dairy products. This
city lies on the western slopes of the Bear River
Mountains, the northernmost branch of the Wasatch
Range. The eastern portions of the city are on top
of an ancient alluvial fan with very steep slopes
down to the rest of town and the Logan River bottom.
To the west lies a flatland that contains farmland
and marshes. To the north and south lie residential
suburbs of Logan. Unlike cities of the Wasatch Front
(Ogden, Salt Lake City, Provo) that share a
sprawling urban area, Logan benefits from being a
bit isolated, and is by any measure a very inviting
place. Logan Canyon is known as a good place for
rock-climbing, hiking, camping, fishing,
snowmobiling, and skiing. The city is accessible on
Hwy 89, about 80 miles north of Salt Lake City and
45 miles north of Ogden.
Information About Layton Used Cars
Before anyone buys a used car, they
should do a car history check. It does not matter if
the vehicle looks new and pristine, or if the seller
insists the used car is in perfect shape; still find
out the history. CARFAX will give you a complete
history for a fee; a single vehicle for $24.99 or 10
reports for $29.99. Unlimited plans (unlimited
reports for thirty days) cost $34.99. Though the
service does not make any guarantees on the used
car, it is well worth the price. What will the
CARFAX report give you? Some of the things you may
find are flood damage, salvaged or totaled in an
accident, odometer rollbacks, state emissions
results, lemon vehicles, illegal titles, vehicles
use (ex. Taxi or rental), and service repair
history. All you need to get a history of the used
car is the VIN, which is usually located under the
driver’s side windshield. If the report shows
nothing bad on the used car this is good, but the
vehicle should still be taken to a certified
mechanic. Many used cars are truly in good shape,
but there will always be the dishonest seller that
is aware the car has a skewered past, and does not
acknowledge it. Many think that if a used car passes
a mechanics inspection it is good to go, yet there
are certain things, such as flood damage or a rolled
back odometer that even a professional cannot
detect. This is why a history check is so important.
