    FAIRFAX, Va.--Nov. 29, 2001--Carfax, the pioneer of vehicle history report, along with Saab Cars USA, Inc delivered a voucher good for a Saab Certified Pre-owned vehicle to contest winner Robert Olmstoday at Village Saab in Acton, Massachusetts.
    "A clean title history provides peace of mind and ensures a quality vehicle," said Dick Raines, President of Carfax, Inc.

Carfax is happy to be a partner in this contest and is pleased to be presenting this certified pre-owned vehicle voucher to the contest winner."
    "Vehicles offered through the Saab Certified Pre-owned program have passed a thorough 110-point inspection process," explains Dan Chasins, President & COO, Saab Cars USA, Inc.
